Also shouldn't it be called Apple Penis Free Entrepreneur Camp? This subject isn't going to end well is it, lets try and keep it humorous at least :)

This is not reddit; such jokes aren't appropriate here

Apologies for lowering the tone, lets go for Apple Women's Entrepreneur Camp, just trying to give it an accurate title.

Why is Apple burying the lede here?

Call it what it is: Apple Women Entrepreneur Camp. Seems very strange to not include any mention of gender in the title of the program but to have the program be entirely about gender.

Well, you're going to have trouble changing the copy on Apple's website.

They mention that pretty clearly in the tagline/subtitle on the website. It is a bit awkward because subtitles and taglines perhaps doesn't fit well with the format of submissions on hackernews.

Funny, had it been called that it probably wouldn't of irked me in the first place.

Interesting initiative.

Women, in my opinion (this may sound dumb, as I am a man), have sometimes a different rhythm than men, bring different interests and pay attention to different problems. So an environment more atuned to their way of thinking/being might yield great results.

just use a colon ':' and put the subtitle/tagline after it

It seems that the HN community responds interestingly to topics of discrimination in tech (or, "lack of diversity"). It seems that there is a bit of denial in this community that there is indeed a discrimination issue. This is merely my observation, it could be skewed or entirely incorrect. Just keep in mind, that discrimination occurs whether you notice it or not. Further, you might be less likely to notice it if you are part of a group that suffers less from discriminatory practices.

Nonetheless, data and personal testimonies suggest that women and minorities have a harder time being interviewed and hired for positions at tech companies. Women and minority founders typically have a more difficult time securing funding and/or resources that will help them build a successful company. This isn't an issue that is unique to tech at all, rather this problem exists in organizations of all types.
