I think the lanyard may be even more close a parallel: WisCon created the lanyard system precisely because women con runners were getting blown off (not to mention that it's a challenge for hotel workers to learn our faces).

There were a couple years when I *should* have asked for a lanyard, but felt I wasn't "important enough." See also the defeated feeling when we've been dissed by staff.

Sorry you had to go through that. Glad we're still learning.
