Not sure what this has to do with Wikis, but its
pretty sad all the
same. It was a month ago, and not nearly enough has been made about
it.

it is getting fresh coverage on reddit too. Not sure why its revived,
but it cant hurt to draw extra attention to this.

Dell held their annual summit this week in
Europe. They hired a moderator
for the opening day named Mads Christensen who is a media personality
that
is described as "very conservative" and
this also is regarding his views
towards women.
Excerpts from a blog by a woman who attended:
" So here I am at Dell’s huge and very professional summit with founder
Michael Dell, top people from Microsoft and Intel, impressive power
points,
expensive commercials, matching polyester ties
and all that jazz, and
then
the – by Dell chosen – moderator starts to
rejoice the lack of women in
the
room. “The IT business is one of the last
frontiers that manages to keep
women out. The quota of women to men in your business is sound and
healthy” he says. “What are you actually doing here?” he adds to the few
women who are actually present in the room. "
" Dell’s moderator continues talking about his two Rolex watches and he
then
presents the next speaker from Intel. After the
break Mads Christensen
shares with us his whole “show” about the bitchy women who want’s to
steal
the power in politics, boards and the home.
“Science” he calls it and
mentions that all the great inventions come from men. “We can thank women
for the rolling pin” he adds. And then the moderator of the day
finishes of
by asking all (men) in the room to promise him
that they will go home and
say “Shut up bitch!”."
