Awesome. This is like the "Pimps & Hoes" party back in college. But you know the reality of these parties, the golden rule of engineering applies here, 80/20 rule - meaning the gender ratio and probability of odds/goods are good.

Oh and before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, let's not get worked up about stupid names in tech events and work on real gender equality in concrete substantive programs.

It's alright haha. Irony intended. I knew the response which is just people being PC without actually offering any substantive change. Tbh, I'd rather be openly sexist than to be socially liberal and closet sexist.
