Please tell... which computer and software would you use to convert a 10 GB large, 2h long 1080p video to 1366x768 in 2 minutes? Keeping embedded subtitles in is a requirement.

Because I already own the fucking video. What would you do, convert it just because "hey it ain't fittin'"?
I can watch 1080p MKVs on my crappy Samsung S4 Mini without a hitch, it works, doesn't consume much power (30% battery for a 2h long movie is pretty darn good) and yeah the phone resolution is crap but I don't care. I care about playing the damn video.

Or a movie coming off torrents in that format.

Not if you already have it like that.

and which pants heavily when you want to watch an 1080p MKV on it.

AFAIK that's already recorded as far as snail mail is concerned.

I wouldn't care but I'm also aware I'm part of a tiny minority.

I'm not saying they should submit to it, I'm saying there are other things one could do first, before running to HR or the judge with tears flying off their cheeks.

Have them pay the customer a sum equal to the amount the customer paid for the house.

It is not the same thing because the undercover cop stalking you gathers data, not metadata. It's the difference between counting how many envelopes you're getting in your mailbox and how thick they are versus reading their contents.

When they work in an all-female team for a while, yes they can become pretty savage.

Maybe because she was the girl who cried wolf too many times and people eventually got sick of all the drama queening.

If you're a dickhead (pun not-intended), you'll be treated like a shithead.
Sexual poetry book? Talk to the dude who gave it to you, tell him it's inappropriate. or go to HR (which is usually women-biased) and tell them you felt offended, they will talk tot he dude.
Colleagues discussing pornography on a plane? Tell them to keep it quiet (add "please!" because it's polite) and they will stop. if they don't, do as above.
Men tend to slip back to pseudo-savagery if women aren't around in a workplace for a while, and when a woman comes in, they tend do remain savage unless their eyes are opened. Don't pry their eyes open with a crowbar and acid, do it nicely and all's gonna be okay.
As for the other "reasons", they're dumb and weak.
A male partner touched your leg under a table? C'mon, really now. gender bias right there: imagine a male complaining about the same thing performed by a female: I bet everyone would laugh at him. but noo, when a woman experiences it, it's baaad, it's almost rape! Unacceptable!

It looks like currently the appropriate action is "shut up and sue" rather than "talk to the offender, then HRm then escalate, then sue if issue isn't resolved and he continues".

Here's something that happened at my workplace (which fields men and women almost in equal percentages). There was this new dude who had a rather unpolished character, swearing a lot, etc. One female colleague felt offended and went to HR. Another talked to him directly, in private and explained that he's crossing some lines. Dude got it, stopped, then a week later he's called to HR (follow-up from the first woman's complaint) and slammed with 10% pay cut for 3 months.
After that, everyone (men and women alike) isolated themselves from that woman (socially) because they felt uneasy around her. One could never be sure that they might slip and say something that "offended" her somehow and end up being punished for some little thing they might not have realized.

Being an arsehole swings both ways and can backfire.

Yeah, let's transform "metadata" into "data" - because it's scarier that way!
I mean... who in their right mind would NOT blow this out of proportion?

Gizoogle version:
