Tech Community Group Hacker Hideout names costume party "Hackers & Hookers"

ValleyWag pretty much nailed it:

"Beer. Dance floor. Shot bar. Food truck. Girls." Nerds. Obliviousness. Poor judgment. Skewed cultural views. Social regression. Bros. MySQL. Crushing it. A party atmosphere combined with everything that makes the rest of the world hate you, Silicon Valley: this party is not smart."

Man, what the hell. This is despicable but also just dumb - someone already got in trouble for this exact same stuff last year and there was media coverage.

At least when lame-o's come up with new forms of misogyny it advances the conversation forward, this is just a rehash.

Can I debut my 'uber for sex' startup there? #whoresmakeitwork

Buncha pathetic bros. I think they believe this pitch will actually entice female humanoids to attend.

If this mysogynist debacle comes to pass, I would love to see pictures. Bro-dudes are always funny.

At least they're honest about misogyny. Some people see no significant difference between renting machines and females, to carry out commands.

so what.

edit: seriously. that's the response this commands. no capitalization included.

Awesome. This is like the "Pimps & Hoes" party back in college. But you know the reality of these parties, the golden rule of engineering applies here, 80/20 rule - meaning the gender ratio and probability of odds/goods are good.

Oh and before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, let's not get worked up about stupid names in tech events and work on real gender equality in concrete substantive programs.
