The only thing this whole thread is really accomplishing is giving the author more twitter followers.

But the sponsors don't care and normal people don't either. The tone of these conferences is not the reason women are not more involved, if it is then it is a small piece.

Real Problem: Math, Science and Engineering are boring for women (not all women but I'm making simple points here). For that matter they are boring for most people.

Solution: Don't make them boring when kids are in grade school and high school.

The lack of women is not because of this stupid conversation this erik guy started.

I guarantee you they don't care because the points being made are over the top. Ask Amy Hoy (a speaker) about it and I will guarantee she will say, "Who gives a shit?"

Who cares? This argument is a waste of time. Go find someone that is actually sexist and stop making mountains out of mole hills.

Who cares? The Uncle Bear video was stupid and funny and if that offends you then don't come to the conference because you are uptight and I don't want you there. And if anyone that makes fun or uses Charlie Sheen (because he is the IT thing right now)to promote themselves then you will need to write a blog post for every comedian and news anchor out there who have bombarded us with his face for the past 2 weeks.

Is this seriously a topic of conversation. Anyone that's worth going to this conference won't give a shit.
