There is something unsettling in men refusing to attend an event because not enough women wanted to be there. (only one woman applied) They asked the organizers to find more women for them.
"Bring me some women!" said the male speakers.
- shkkmo 7y agoThere is something heart warming about people making personal sacrifices to promote divirsity. "Here, take back some of the money you were using to pay for our travel and use it to bring in some female speakers" said the male speakers.
- PunchTornado 7y agocancel the entire event and leave everyone with their plans in the air. tickets, hotels, trips, everything lost. that makes sense.

- shkkmo 7y agoThe organizers canceled the event. The presenters just canceled their talks.
- PunchTornado 7y agobecause you can have the event without the scheduled talks. of course the event was going to be cancelled if main speakers don't attend
- nf8nnfufuu 7y agoMen paying for access to women. Not that unusual, I'd say.
- jbob2000 7y agoIt’s very patriarchal, the men still control the event. They used their power to end the event when there are probably many people, women included, who would have liked it to continue so they could attend. But no, daddy event organizer knows best, make sure to follow him and listen to what he says!
- EdwardDiego 7y agoI suspect that their capacity to deal with the bullshit was exceeded and they gave up. But sure, Daddy Event Organiser.
- jasonlotito 7y ago> There is something unsettling in men refusing to attend an event because not enough women wanted to be there That's not why they aren't attending. They aren't attending because the conference wasn't willing to put in any effort to try.
