Granted, people should not be distracting class clowns during a conference. The line about the daughter? It's impossible to tell if it was funny without knowing

Granted, people should not be distracting class clowns during a conference. The line about the daughter? It's impossible to tell if it was funny without knowing what the speaker had just said.
This entire post appears to be a statement about how female speakers are unfairly treated at tech conferences, but in reality it is the poster saying "look everyone, I'm a hero"
- the_fury 10y agoThe entire post appears to be about female speakers being unfairly treated is because because it's a story about a female speaker who was being unfairly treated. The "look everyone" jab is completely unwarranted.
- Frondo 10y agoIf you think shushing some jerks at a conference is heroism, I submit to you that you have set the bar too low. I also shush kids who talk in movie theaters and tell irate customers to back down when they're yelling at store clerks. None of that is heroic, either, it's what I would hope is basic human decency. I don't want to live in a world where the guys sitting next to me are calling a conference speaker's daughter a bitch. Do you?
