Wow, that's pretty tough isn't it?
I mean, imagine going to a conference, joking around with a friend and the next day you get fired for it!
I wouldn't even go so far to call this (yet another) discussion about women in tech. I mean there are many topics not gender-related that could potentially offend people.
The thing that I don't get is: Why did she decide to take a picture of them an put it on Twitter?
If she really didn't want to talk to them in person, which I wouldn't blame her for if she was offended by ther attitude, why didn't she just report them to the staff and get them escorted out?
Does anyone know if the people involved here ever talked to each other?
- TeeWEE 14y agoAccording to the post they didn't. She just made a picture and posted it to twitter. If she just had said: "Guys that's not appropriate" Then they would probably pardon themselves! Sorry but they way she acted is not appropriate in my eyes. Just make a picture of somebody and put it online! C'mon that's against normal privacy etiquette.

Which they did when taken aside by PyCon staff to discuss the incident: http://pycon.blogspot.be/2013/03/pycon-response-to-inappropriate.html http://pycon.blogspot.be/2013/03/pycon-response-to-inappropr...
