Re: This needs to stop

I suppose I should have made myself clearer here. Did my comment get downvotes because some people were unable to grasp the possibility that tech conferences might be less popular with women due to the level of sexism attendant upon them (claimed or actual -- both are necessarily offputting), or did it get downvoted because some people thought I was suggesting that women are incapable of thinking up session proposals?

Please, you downvoters, give me an answer. You can't hurt yourselves by being honest, can you? And if you can't be honest on a mostly-anonymous forum, of what value is your opinion?
