Oh, look, lapdancers at a yahoo conference

Yahoo hires lap-dancers to entertain at its open, inclusive Hack Day event - Boing Boing


WOWOMGFUCKYOUYAHOO.

BECAUSE NOTHING SAYS WOMEN ARE WELCOME IN TECH CAREERS LIKE FUCKING LAPDANCERS.

also, people at boing boing are criticising this article for being sex-negative and puritanical and etc etc, rather than, you know, pointing out yet another way tech industries are stomping their feet and yelling 'NO GIRLS IN THE CLUBHOUSE.' but the commentors seem to think it's about hating naked women. are the comments over there always full of ass?


look, i have to go clean my brain off my laptop screen now.

If they were just being sex positive where were the male lapdancers? (Not that that would be ok, but it would be a different kind of not-ok)

I just blogged this at Body Impolitic, so thanks.

The comments at Boing Boing are generally awful, yes. There will be bright spots here and there, but it's like comments anywhere. Just don't read.

What on earth made them think that was a good idea? That's so completely inappropriate.

[stoneself.livejournal.com]

you think there was thought involved?

[lady-alyria.livejournal.com]

They want you to think no thought was involved. Like the girls just sprung up from the ground and started offering lapdances. No, this took planning, stupid, dumb, sexist planning.
