The invasion of Womens' sports comes to tech. Men invaded women's job fair after 'lying' about being non-binary
I'm not outraged. I think it is funny, and completely predictable.
Scores of men invaded a tech job fair billed as the largest gathering of women seeking careers in STEM fields after allegedly lying about being non-binary.
Videos across social media showed men racing to meet with potential recruiters at the annual Grace Hopper Celebration event held in Orlando between Sept. 26 to 29 — a job fair specifically aimed at helping women and nonbinary technologists.
What did the organizers expect would happen?
The female attendees, some of whom paid about $1,300 per ticket for a chance to network with recruiters, have blasted the cisgender men for skipping all the panels and seminars in order to beat the women to the recruiting lines.
They should save their ire for the organizers. Or for the people pushing the insanity of the situation.
One attendee complained:
“If they had a career fair for military veterans, but civilians who have never served in the military crashed it, would you be okay with that,” she added, reading a comment from another woman who attended the event.
Except that you could, at an event for military veterans, require a DD-214 to enter. That is, you could ask for proof of veteran status. What would the Grace Hopper organizers ask for?
