I don't know why jpxxx's comment is hidden: --- You're invited to a conference that's relevant to your position and your industry. When you arrive, a number of hired twentysomething men are milling about wearing tight tee-shirts, padded crotches, and skintight jeans. They're dancing, drinking, flirting with you and your coworkers, and subtly drawing attention towards their ample bulges. Some people in the crowd are really getting into this, having their pictures taken with them. The room starts getting sweaty, the music amps up, and the paid gogo boys start thrusting their cocks in rhythm with the music. Comment freely! --- For my own commentary, I agree with jpxxx, or at least the point I think he or she is trying to make. It's the same hypocrisy seen with homosexuality in a lot of males: "gays are gross, lesbians are hot" -> "Half naked dancers are okay, as long as they're female! Duh!" And that is precisely the problem. It's not acceptable either way. It's not about being PC, it's about being appropriate. It was a conference, not a strip club.

It was alive earlier, which means it got flagged into oblivion pretty quickly. My response: This isn't the point. Even if everyone thought the dancers were sexy, or they had men as well as women dancing, it was still inappropriate for an industry event. This isn't even an organization trying to sell something, it's a group for employees in the games industry. Completely pointless.

  Well hmm, maybe we interpreted his comment differently. I took it as satire and as pointing out the same thing you are. I agree, it's not appropriate and it wouldn't be any more so if it were just men, just women, or a mix. (The vivid imagery of a man dancing around like that is meant to point out that "but they were hot" or whatever is not a valid response to the issue at hand).

You're invited to a conference that's relevant to your position and your industry. To a party relevant to your industry. When you arrive, a number of hired twentysomething men are milling about wearing tight tee-shirts, padded crotches, and skintight jeans. They're dancing, drinking, flirting with you and your coworkers, and subtly drawing attention towards their ample bulges. I'm pretty sure the dancers were not even allowed to drink and they didn't flirt with female participants, if they flirted with anybody at all. Some people in the crowd are really getting into this, having their pictures taken with them. The room starts getting sweaty, the music amps up, and the paid gogo boys start thrusting their cocks in rhythm with the music. And I guess at this point I'm supposed to imagine getting drunk, gang raped by gays and whatnot. This "analogy" was a severe exaggeration of what really happened.
