Of course this comment is getting downvoted into oblivion. The open source community has no problem with sexism... noooo sir.

Just in case somebody didn't watch the talk and thinks you actually got a point. She asked somebody to take a picture of her in a bikini lying in a puddle next to a road somewhere. The caption on the picture reads: "WAT" — which might just be the right question to ask in that situation. I take it you're upset that he made fun of two dudes and only one girl during his talk? Is that what we're upset about? Or do you want the asian guy to put on a bikini next time he takes his pig-themed scooter on a cruise? For what it's worth: I have it on good authority that most of the camels depicted in this talk are female. Take it easy.

The problem is that you were attacking a straw man and I think that is what you are getting downvoted for.

Yes, indeed, sexism in talks is bad. I stand with you to condemn it. Regardless, the talk could be good technically.

(I didn't downvote you.)
