> Except there are women attending these conferences.
The "joker" vents out his frustration, fed by a male daily work environment, in a gender-mixed conference. The result is event more detrimental than when such attitudes are displayed in front of a 100% male attendance indeed.
> Being frustrated about something doesn't make it okay [...]
I did most certainly not write, nor imply, that it was OK. I just didn't insist more on how bad it was, because there's only so much beating a dead horse can take, and because I didn't think I had anything constructive to add to this truism.
> Funny how many meandering explanations/justifications are sat in this thread. Quite depressing.
I'm afraid you're getting confused between explanations and justifications; that's probably one of the causes for your depressed feelings.

Sure, I apologise for implying this was your personal opinion, however the strength of my tone is based on the fact that some will use your observation as an excuse. > I'm afraid you're getting confused between explanations and justifications; that's probably one of the causes for your depressed feelings. Actually I feel fine, a figure of speech :-) the problem is that many will use these explanations as a justification, the gap between the two isn't very far.
