A tech conference for women and non-binary workers in the field last week was overrun by men, where an organizer said some unwelcome guests falsely claimed to be “non-binary” to make it in. And some onlookers watched the ensuing outcry unfold with amusement and a lack of sympathy.
“You have to admit it’s pretty funny watching a dude yelling about dudes being dudes,” said “Outnumbered” guest Ben Ferguson on Wednesday.
Indeed, Cullen White, Chief Impact Officer of the group that organized the seminar, AnitaB, chastised attendees for having “lied” about their gender.
