“Are you kidding? I wouldn’t present here. [The environment here makes it] not worth it.”
A great post about exclusionary entertainment at a tech conference, and the importance of context in these things. Our favourite excerpt:
This was also not the most personally offensive experience I’ve had at a conference. In fact, I was not “offended” at all. Naked ladies don’t offend me. (Reminder: I perform a similar thing in a different setting.) However, putting sexy ladies on a pedestal to be stared at by a group of exclusively men creates an asymmetrical gender dynamic which is not appropriate for a quasi-industry, corporate sponsored event.
