Wait, what? This is the same Dell that back in 2009 decided to produce a line of netbooks called "Della" specifically targeted towards women, and were promptly savaged for being retrograde sexist idiots. http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Della_computers http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1137328/dell-marketing-tactic-sexism http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/11/dell-unveils-della-website-to-help-women-choose-which-totally-cu http://blog.laptopmag.com/dear-della-sexism-doesnt-sell-laptops So after that drubbing, they have what the Reddit post describes as a "well-known Danish misogynist commentator" to emcee their event. This isn't so much shooting themselves in the foot as machine gunning their whole leg off. -- Tom Morris <http://tommorris.org/> _______________________________________________ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap
