What are your red flags? Of any kind:

  • Interpersonal
  • Social
  • Business/Employment
  • … and a list of thousands more

I’m kind of curious.

    I actually forgot a big one, and it will likely be contentious.

    Interpersonal/Romantic/Sexual

    • men who call themselves “feminist”,

    I’ve seen enough self-proclained “feminist” men who clearly only use the language and the public persona to get laid that this is an automatic red flag for me that makes me dig deeper. If they proclaim their “feminism” completely out of the blue/out of context that red flag turns into a four-alarm fire.

    Some prominent examples of what I mean from the public sphere:

    • Joss Whedon
    • Gareth Ward
    • Harvey Weinstein (yes, he publicly proclaimed support for feminism!)
    • John Lasseter
    • Juno Diaz
    • Bill Cosby
    • Charlie Rose
