Good. If anyone can be a woman, expect the system to be gamed.

Grace Hopper. There’s a name that jars memory. She gave a lecture at the Naval Academy when I was a midshipman on computing. She was an admiral already, the first woman admiral if I recall correctly. She handed out ‘nano-seconds’, a little piece of bell wire about 12” long, the distance light travels in a nano-second. This was to help illustrate how the speed of computing had improved over the years. This was in the very early 80’s. Today she would have to hand out pico-seconds, which would probably look like dust.
You will always have insurmountable problems once you move away from hiring the most qualified.
I saw actual video from this event. It was 95% women. This is Outkick trolling for clicks. “Overrun” indeed. Nonsense.
Wasn’t she the inventer of COBOL?
DID SHE JUST MISGENDER THEM????
I can remember when female reporters were fighting to get in to men’s locker rooms to get post-game interviews. This is funny.
I met Admiral Grace Hopper in 1985 at a private Pentagon computer-communications lecture (actually at the DIAC on Bolling AFB—see my profile). She gave me (and everyone) a piece of 24 gauge wire about 12 inches long.
That, she said, was the distance an electrical signal traveled in a nanosecond.
I still have it in my Nerd Shrine.
It is pretty dammed funny and the organizers need to come up with something, but I suspect they will not be able to while remaining “inclusive”.
The organizers cooked up this situation, but the response from a company I own to a resume a dude gave my recruiter at this conference?
“Thank you for going to the trouble to reveal yourself as selfish oaf of a doucehbag with no sense of boundaries or decorum! Your resume is going into the “Never Hire Under Any Circumstance” pile and I’ll be sharing with all of my CEO buddies how I came to know about you. Buh bye...”
sounds like it was foreign men, Asian?
“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, “
What a bigot hate filled transphobe.
Sex discrimination in hiring and promotion is illegal.
Is it just me or does the elderly Admiral Grace Hopper look a lot like Admiral Rachel Levine?

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’
They built a weapon that cuts both ways.
Way to go guys, what goes round comes around.
