#2I am absolutely amazed that these got anywhere near the stage. I'd always considered TechCruch to be about tech, not sexism.
Frankly, to the two arseholes from Sydney: you're not a larrikin pair. You're two arseholes. No love, a Sydneysider.

#3I also want to point out the amazing app to schedule in kids play dates, made by Alex Jordan who is 9!

#4What is sexist about CircleShake? It's not about women at all.

#5What is sexist about CircleShake? It's not about women at all.
It is a very manly gesture that implies a mental image of the someone else being the subject of the gesture.
But first of all, it is very immature and tasteless and shouldn't be done on stage.

Your comment is incredibly hetero- and cis-normative, and also slut-shaming to boot. For shame!

#8Frankly, TitStare was quite funny. In despite of being tits-related, i can't see how a woman could find it offensive (maybe because she has tits too? i can't see the correlation).
It's more about lonely developers staring at tits.
It's funny to see how the tech industry is passing thru its "feminist" age and just can't understand that THERE ARE differences between men and women, which doesn't mean anyhow that one is better than the other. They are just different. Liking tits is completely normal for a man, joking on it is too. Sexism is something different, a much bigger and subtle problem, against which (too often) women themselves do not react.

You're playing devil's advocate, right?

Rubbish. It was about objectifying women. It had nothing to do with lonely developers. These were two boofhead Australians who sadly exist in my part of the world who used women's bodies as a joke so they could get a quick laugh.
There are too many "men" like this in Sydney. I use the word "men" loosely.
