the sad thing is, the whole PyCon situation is not even a representative example of sexism.
if you're a woman planning to walk into a men's restroom, don't complain about what you hear and see - their comments were not targeted towards her, nor towards women. the whole thing makes about as much sense as some guy going to a largely-female yoga class and outraged about two women making jokes about breast sizes.

- leeoniya 14y agonothing of the sort is implied, but the fact that it's currently 95% boys is a reality that will not change overnight. if you're someone who's easily offended by immature jokes of any sort, then you should expect to feel uncomfortable around any group of people who tend to make immature jokes. ...and programmers/techies make a lot of immature jokes :P
