Noisebridge is dedicated to providing a harassment-free experience for everyone, regardless of gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, housing status, or language. We do not tolerate harassment of people at our events or space in any form.

In addition, we ask users of Noisebridge to keep in mind the relative social standing of different groups in the United States today. We don't hold that so-called "reverse racism", "misandry", "heterophobia", or "cisphobia" carry the same amount of harm as genuine racism, sexism, &c. Individual Noisebridge members and the Noisebridge community may refuse to act on complaints of harassment or discrimination like this.

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, persistent uninvited communication, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

Different users of Noisebridge have different levels of comfort about sex and porn. Nobody should be forced to experience sexual or sexualised language or imagery. This does not mean that such material is prohibited, just that such conversations, presentations, &c. should include only interested and consenting people.

When you are working on a sex- or porn-related project at Noisebridge, or are running such an event or presentation, provide reasonable notice and warning to allow others the opportunity to opt out if they wish. With this — as anything else — each person has a responsibility to be considerate of the comfort levels of others. Discussions, projects, and events of this nature should strive to exist in a culture of respect and consent.

People asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

People violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the space or the event at the discretion of any Noisebridge community participant.

If you wish to report harassment anonymously or privately, you can send a message to secretary@noisebridge.net (or contact one of the people who have volunteered as a mediator on the Mediation page).

-I feel like they've started to take over my life. I grew two cup sizes over Christmas vacation and not only was it painful but noticeable. I'm 6'1", 130-140 lbs and only a 30 band. They're starting to dominate my frame. I know I'm thin, probably under weight but I eat well and don't do any weird diets.

-Last night I went to a New Year's party with my gf and 3 of her friends. We're all lesbians except one girl who is busty also. All night all we talked about was my boobs or the other girls boobs.
-I could tell the other girl was liking all the attention and frankly so do I.....normally. But I had a thought: if my bust was more proportional, what would we talk about? I couldn't think of anything. I honestly don't like these people, they're functioning alcoholics, they only ever what to talk about sex, alcohol, or work. What about the shooting in Colorado? How do you feel about Net Neutrality? What's you stance on global warming? And no, for the last time, I'm not going to get them out so we can compare. I think some of this is magnified by the fact my relationship is clearly failing. We're just not on the same page anymore.

-But like I said I can't help but enjoy being told I'm sexy, or beautiful. I love my boobs they're super sensitive, perky and got a good shape. I like the way they make my shirts look. I like the way they feel. I just like them. I never contemplated having big boobs until I got here but now I am.

-I haven't been "really busty" for more than a few years but I honestly don't know what is do without them now. I feel like my relationship, friendship and even some of my work accomplishments would evaporate if I didn't have my boobs.

-That, very sobering, realization has me feeling pretty guilty. I feel like just the fact that I sometimes feel any kind of positive emotion for my boobs makes me a slut. I feel like hating then is "the right thing to do". Arnt women supposed to only complain about big boobs?
