@Rubizon Past using beauty contests to entertain tech professionals. Past linking our field to outdated gender stereotypes. Past perpetuating harmful bias. Past alienating many in the tech community. Past objectifying women and reducing them to their looks in a tech setting.

If you, on the topic of diversity, call for violence towards people who have different perspectives and opinions than you, you should take a look in the mirror and ask yourself whether your words & actions are part of the problem, or whether you want to be part of the solution.

@margolainen @MladenPrajdic @intoleranse Same event, same venue. And they are actually stating "photo-opportunities with Miss Norway contestants after 23:00" on the registration page.

@Rubizon If you want to learn more about the topic, I can recommend the following books. They will give you great examples of barriers: - Reset: My Fight for Inclusion and Lasting Change - by Ellen Pao - Brotopia: Breaking Up the Boys' Club of Silicon Valley by Emily Chang

RT @elise_kri: Ingen, absolutt INGEN, sa at de som deltar i Miss Norway ikke kan hjelpe på dugnad. Trist @Knut_Yrvin ikke selv ser problem…

@Knut_Yrvin @ilbrando You have not asked me these questions as far as I have seen. Of course anyone should be free to attend whichever activity they like, that doesn't mean this event is appropriate as a tech event. Many are sharing that this event would make them feel uncomfortable.

RT @margolainen: @Knut_Yrvin @karolikl @Rubizon Organizing beauty pageants is "celebrating gender diversity"? I will tell you about my feel…

@malinkbruland @Knut_Yrvin @Rubizon I am not opposed to anyone wearing shirts, regardless of gender.

@Knut_Yrvin @Rubizon Again, I am supportive of the volunteering project with Miss Norway. It's the celebration of the anniversary for NUUG which comes across as using these women as a photo-op when you advertise with "spend the evening with Norways most beautiful women" and "put on a nice shirt".

@ChristinGorman @kode24no @nuugunix @desdotdev @elise_kri @Knut_Yrvin Rettelse: NUUG, ikke NNUG. (Jeg skrev også feil i en tidligere post)

@NiteLiteDF @joelabrahamsson Det er det som er det komiske, og jeg håper dette rett og slett er at denne personen har vært litt korttenkt. Men det gjenstår å se, det ville vært lett å rette opp i dette da reaksjonene først begynte å komme, men nå roter de det til med unnskyldinger fra alle hold.

@NiteLiteDF @joelabrahamsson 😂 Styremedlem i NUUG er også daglig leder og presseansvarlig for Miss Norway. Det er ikke tilfeldig at arrangementet er på samme sted. Dette er et resultat av rolleblanding uten å forstå resultatet av det.

@NiteLiteDF @joelabrahamsson Etter snart 20 år i bransjen hvor jeg har opplevd både uønsket oppmersomhet og seksuell trakassering på tech events, så blir jeg sittende på min moralske høyest om det kan redusere risikoen for at andre kvinner opplever det samme.

@Knut_Yrvin @Rubizon I don't see how letting the user group watch women promotes gender diversity in tech. I do believe your members are already aware that women exist. If you recruit all of them to pursue a career in tech, then you are contributing to diversity in tech.

@Knut_Yrvin @Rubizon And to be clear, my reaction would have been the same for *any* other tech user group as well.

My reaction has nothing to do with my employment, these are personal reflections. I am supportive of the volunteering NUUG has done together with Miss Norway for students in Ukraine. I don't support the signal the event sends of objectifying of women for entertainment.
