I wasn't that bothered by the "joke" but then I was a programmer for 4
years a decade ago so had to become desensitised to objectification of
women to fit into the very male environment of back then.

I am very bothered though by the responses to Marion saying she found it
offensive, especially  marginalising feminism like this.

Where was there any discrimination against men?

Do you think that the Electron club is somewhere that it is more likely
males or females might feel isolated and uncomfortable due to their sex?

How can we create a space where nobody feels less able to participate due
to sex, race or class?
