I don't think there is parity with how frequently men and women are objectified, as you imply. I'm also sure that like most people their job choice is mostly to do with needing to make money, not their personal attitudes about sex.
People shouldn't put down women who work as "booth babes". Nothing wrong with it, everyone needs a job, not everyone is drowning in opportunities, but criticizing their presence at tech events is legitimate. I can't imagine being a woman and seeing that in a supposedly professional setting.
- viggity 9y agothat is fair in some ways I suppose, men and women are different, different hormone levels mean we're physically and mentally different. I think you also just see less of objectification of men because, well, women don't objectify men in the same way. Men are more visual, women are more emotional. There are tons of middle age women who read nothing but harlequin "novels" and/or erotica. FFS, look at how many copies of 50 shades of gray sold. Its insane. They don't want to see him they want to feel connected to him. I work in an office filled with all female nurses. You wouldn't imagine the kinds of things they say, things that would get a group of guys saying the same thing in a metric shit ton of problems. I can't even imagine what they say when I'm not around. Long story short, I'm done letting society shame everyone about a completely natural, normal phenomenon.
- wcummings 9y agoNot what I said at all, this has nothing to do with "hormones". Your post is super gross, and leaves little doubt as to why you feel "shamed". If anyone wants to know why there aren't more women in tech they need not look further. Peddle your tired sexist pseudoscience to someone else.
