When you create a stupid system, don’t be surprised when people exploit it. And that’s exactly what happened over the weekend when a conference for women in tech was swamped by men who registered under the guise of “non-binary.”

The Grace Hopper Celebration is an annual conference and career fair designed to “bring the research and career interests of women in computing to the forefront.” But this year, droves of men descended on the Orlando event with résumés in hand. And some reportedly even cut lines and shoved women out of the way to submit those résumés to potential employers.

Female attendees expressed their frustration on social media.

“These men are acting like zoo animals, sprinting to the booths, and physically hurting some of the attendees,” one person wrote.

I still have a couple of ‘nano-seconds’ from her, in my stash of old work stuff. Stored safely. . .

Sex discrimination in hiring and promotion is illegal.

It got so bad, though, the organization’s chief impact officer stood up at the conference to explain that some registrants had lied about their gender identity

Sounds like they/them (zey/zem/zer?) needs to spend some time at a re-education camp...oops, I mean a tolerance training class.

College boy, you mean she is one of your heroines assuming “she” and “her” are her pronouns.

She invented FLOWMATIC which was later extended and became COBOL.

Is it just me or does the elderly Admiral Grace Hopper look a lot like Admiral Rachel Levine?

Yes. And she also coined term - bug in the system - by finding an actual moth in the circuits of the computer.

There should be a huge group of men who’s job it is to sign up to any female only events en mass, from state to state, as ‘non binary’, and squeeze the feminists out until finally the women can’t stand it anymore and demand a separation between the ACTUAL sexes to stop the obvious nonsense going on in the insanity driven culture we find ourselves in now-

oh, and they should sue the person who claimed that the men ‘lied about their gender’

I tell my friends with teenage sons to identify them as female for car insurance purposes.

One way of looking at it.

If you can’t follow rules in financial services you are on your azz fast if FINRA or the SEC notices you.

I work compliance. I have no room for rule breakers in my company. I have people that are willing to be supervised and play by the rules. People that are aggressive selling or recruiting in my industry are dangerous loose cannons to get out of your shop...

Who would want to work for me? Anyone that makes 6 or 7 figures a year schmoozing local politicians, that’s who. But you gotta follow the rules while you’re schmoozing.

And I could give a f-—k about the princesses and their special s-—t. I give a f-—k about somebody so aggressive to get ahead that they do whatever the f-—k they want. Go work elsewhere if you are a free agent that doesn’t follow policies and rules — you’re too dangerous for my shop.

Let me guess — you’re in sales or building/construction contracting, right? Say or do whatever the f-—k you gotta to get that buck, right?

You gonna have a fun convo with Daddy on that shit someday.

Grace Hopper developed COBOL.

This is hilarious that this happened.
