Did you read the thread where people running the event have said that males can apply, but that females are goven priority?

I did not, thanks. However, can we agree that a drop down box and a comment buried on HN being the only indications men are welcome to apply amounts to hair splitting when we are deciding whether or not to classify this as a gender exclusive event?

YC have jumped the shark and landed into an ocean of political correctness.

The conference is called "FEMALE" Founders Conference, yet males can apply?

Utter lunacy.
