ValleyWag pretty much nailed it:<p>&quot;Beer. Dance floor. Shot bar. Food truck. Girls.&quot; 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.&quot;<p><a href="http://valleywag.gawker.com/hackers-and-hookers-startup-party-is-techs-new-worst-1450909234/@sambiddle" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;valleywag.gawker.com&#x2F;hackers-and-hookers-startup-part...</a>

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.<p>At least when lame-o&#x27;s come up with new forms of misogyny it advances the conversation forward, this is just a rehash.

Can I debut my &#x27;uber for sex&#x27; startup there? #whoresmakeitwork

Buncha pathetic bros. I think they believe this pitch will actually entice female humanoids to attend.<p>If this mysogynist debacle comes to pass, I would love to see pictures. Bro-dudes are always funny.

At least they&#x27;re honest about misogyny. Some people see no significant difference between renting machines and females, to carry out commands.

so what.<p>edit: seriously. that&#x27;s the response this commands. no capitalization included.

Awesome. This is like the &quot;Pimps &amp; Hoes&quot; party back in college. But you know the reality of these parties, the golden rule of engineering applies here, 80&#x2F;20 rule - meaning the gender ratio and probability of odds&#x2F;goods are good.<p>Oh and before anyone gets their panties in a bunch, let&#x27;s not get worked up about stupid names in tech events and work on real gender equality in concrete substantive programs.
