The Grace Hopper Celebration is meant to unite women in tech. This year droves of men came looking for jobs.

After thinking about it that’s exactly what they’re doing.

They sold tickets at $700 each to loads of men. So loads of men turned up.

What did they expect to happen. They knew in advance how many tickets they’d sold and to who… and nobody raised any flags. A few % lying about gender (if they did, gender is complex) wouldn’t tip the scales that much.

That’s the motto of the WNBA… SOMEONE, needs to pay for this, but it’s not the responsibility of women to support women’s sports ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
