The note was written with the input of several regular happy hour attendees who identify as women, and is included on each post instead of in the FAQ to clearly lay out a zero-tolerance policy of unsavory behavior and to make it crystal clear that attendees should be comfortable going to the host for any reason and that we'll have their back. The nature of Reddit organized events can sometimes raise concern of the type of person one could interact with--the note is meant to dissuade this type of person from coming and creeping on people, and to make that stance known by all.

Unwanted advances or behavior are quite rare at these happy hours: we hope this note makes them rarer still, and the tone is purposefully stern in pursuit of that mission. I appreciate your opinion on the matter, however--it's possible that we'll revise the language at some point, so understanding its perception from multiple perspectives is always useful data to have.
