Sexist = discriminating.
Assuming you're male, do you feel discriminated because Google wants more women to attend conferences? I don't.
Now if the site would say that men in general shouldn't bother going to tech conferences, and if the majority of society would agree that men shouldn't bother getting into tech at all, then it would be discriminating. We're quite far from that.
- return0 13y agoIt's sexist because it treats women as some sort of 'weaker' sex that needs to be bribed to attend tech conferences (as if attending a conference will solve the problem of employment in IT). This is pure PR.

- Tichy 13y agoWhy wouldn't I feel discriminated? It's not my fault that I was born male. And I have only once gone to an expensive conference. I offered to help with organization and running it and therefore got in for free (paid own travel expenses).
