One word... sexist. It would be called sexist. While I'm totally pro female, exclusivity is still bigotry no matter how you look at it.

- Ryel 13y agoYes but it's ok when the minority does it.

- rfnslyr 13y agoNot at all. Why must there be a label associated with everything? I supposed girls nights out are now sexist as well, or just chilling with the guys and no girls. How far will it go?
- belorn 13y agoThe old gentle man club of the past was considering sexist and a cause for the glass ceiling. Mechanically, its no difference with girls nights out, but to be a problem, it depend on what such time is used for. Networking and work related discussion?
- SheepSlapper 13y agoAny time you distinguish a group based on gender by definition it's sexist, plain and simple. Is that bad? Arguably not (then again, some people would say it's an issue). Once you start to give one group preferential treatment based on their gender, that's sexism. There's a difference between the -ist and the -ism, but it's an important one :)

- orthecreedence 13y agoFrom what I understand, the conference is not exclusive. Men can attend as well. It's really about meeting the challenges that female founders will face in the tech industry which, although I'm not a female, I would guess are a lot different than the challenges men face.
