Did you even read his comment; that is the first text block beneath the comment box? Here it is in case you get lost:
Please note, I am posting this with despair - it's little surprise that women are under-represented in our industry if this kind of thing can stand.

See choult's comment - no reason to attribute the site to the poster.

#15This is surely satire? I refuse to believe that they're actually doing this seriously.

100% agree. This is offensive and sexist. I'm a man and I'm offended, and can only imagine how women must find it.
Even I felt the same. How insensitive people have become!

#17In its defense this is for college kids. Also I like it that they've explained "the cloud" as "server farms that some MBA douche decided to rename". Come on this funny

Many apologies. I sat through a conversation last night, the gist of which was, 'Women are not exploited by the tech industry'.
I didn't turn on my brain, and reacted. I'm sorry, Choult. Thanks for directing my attention to your comment.

I know this is likely an unpopular opinion but here it goes: what the fuck does this have to do with under-representation in our industry?
There's medical-themed porn, school-themed porn and I'm sure someone in Japan has made at least one hacking-themed porn movie until now. That doesn't stop women from becoming doctors, going to school or hacking. There are striptease-themed news, too, and that doesn't prevent women going into television.
Is the site ridiculous and tasteless? Definitely. It's also not implying that women are lifeless beautiful objects who can't program any more than cheerleading implies that women are lifeless beautiful objects who suck at sports or strip clubs imply that women are lifeless beautiful objects who are only good at dancing. Would you also object to women at your favourite strip club wearing Tux bras?
Yeah, it's a piece of thrash, but also not more relevant to our industry than teasenews.com is to journalism.
