I mean, that quote you mention sounds pretty innocent, but the other ones, like
was accused of making up fake female speakers to attract high-profile speakers
fake profiles created by the event organizers to make the event look diverse in order to “successfully attract some of the most heavy-hitter men speakers in tech.”
Sound almost like it was going to be a human trafficking fair rather than a programming conference. If the idea that some great male speakers will come to the conference just because there will be female speakers is correct then it’s fcked way beyond what I would imagine. Sounds as if IT is a bunch of creeps although I know for granted that it’s not (only) like that

I think the idea is that big-name men will show up to support women and work for equality, not to creep on them.
