This is just SJW stuff par the usual. I was at the event. First of all, it was an optional after party hosted at a dance club - from what I understand, Microsoft paid for the full package that the club offered, which includes dancers.

Yeah, I don't care much for those things, either, so I don't go to dance clubs (which are almost defined by the things you said). I'm not really seeing the problem here.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Theres nothing hostile about having an after party at a dance venue. Every club has dancers on the platforms to set the vibe and get people to dance. The women are getting paid and wear revealing clothing to sweat less and to offer entertainment. SJWs are just putting a hit out on this but wheres all the outrage toward music concerts and dance clubs?

There's nothing hostile about having an after party at a dance venue. The hostility comes because people feel pressured to go somewhere they don't want to go.

Do you have evidence that anyone was "pressured" to go to this party?

Yes, that's what I'm saying. Most clubs choose female dancers because both men and women find the aesthetics of a woman more pleasing and less risque. It's a sexual thing. Podium dancers are sexualized.
