Guideline 2: "Boys will be boys" is not a standard

"Boys will be boys" is an unacceptable standard of conduct, and being a "normal guy" is an insufficient bar. Members must behave respectfully, safely, and consistently. Sexual freedom in this community does not create any entitlement to sexual attention or access, and how someone is treated must not depend on how attractive the other party is perceived to be.
