    So they identified as men, and the event allowed the men to come? Then I’m failing to see what the issue is?

      The problem is, the event’s not allowed to discriminate officially. The article is about lamenting the ability to discriminate

      the article quotes a bunch of people frustrated at pushing, shoving, line cutting etc at the job fair portion that weren’t visiting presentations - basically people who didn’t want to listen to the speeches but wanted to throw out resumes, fuck everyone else.

      IMO they could solve the problem with a stamp system for people who sat through a presentation but its kind of shitty to have to treat everyone like kids because a couple dudes can’t behave themselves.
