@go_STRT @cleveroctopus yessssss

[Liesl Nielsen @liesl_nielsen]

Statements from both @siliconslopes and Entrata CEO Dave Bateman on the comments many deemed "sexist" and "offensive" at the Silicon Slopes Tech Summit. Story to follow

[basecampervans @basecampervans]

@liesl_nielsen @siliconslopes where were these posted?

[basecampervans @basecampervans]

@liesl_nielsen Yep. Sorry for the slow reply. Coming soon.

[basecampervans @basecampervans]

@fellowduster @suzannemariew @davidbateman @siliconslopes Again with the “offended”. One commits an offense, one receives an insult. Language is subtle, nuanced, and powerful. Pay attention to what we are actually saying and try to learn from this. Otherwise, you’re shouting into the void.

[basecampervans @basecampervans]

The whole thread.

[basecampervans @basecampervans]

@erinwithans I saw it and I have video. It was....not awesome.

[basecampervans @basecampervans]

@TrentMano I’m still surprised there wasn’t a bare minimum immediate audible groan from the 20k assembled. Or an immediate and very public response from the @siliconslopes organizers. It took calling him out via twitter to get an awkward and unprofessional apology in one session.

[basecampervans @basecampervans]

@siliconslopes Your apology in room 255 was a bit.... awkward.

[basecampervans @basecampervans]

@Patti55427396 @davidbateman @siliconslopes I’m pretty sure the only ones using the word “offended” are the ones insisting they’re not. We were insulted, humiliated, and demeaned. Those are things one does TO another. We can’t choose to not be insulted by @davidbateman but he could have chosen to not insult us.

[basecampervans @basecampervans]

@zahwoolley @MareSimmonsArt @AROD @davidbateman @siliconslopes That was awkward. Then I didn’t know if they were serious about sending him away, too.

[basecampervans @basecampervans]

(And @QueenMollyMol’s session was rad.)

[basecampervans @basecampervans]

Even more reason @davidbateman’s intro was such a trainwreck.

[Molly Q. Ford @QueenMollyMol]

@siliconslopes Alex Rodriguez tells women that you are way more valuable than what you’re being paid for #EqualPay

[basecampervans @basecampervans]

@EntrataSoftware @AROD This is gaining momentum, @EntrataSoftware... probably a good idea to speak up about @davidbateman’s comment.

[basecampervans @basecampervans]

@ding_oli @davidbateman @siliconslopes @AROD He asked the women to stand up, said we were there just to see @AROD, then said ‘sorry ladies, he’s taken’.

[basecampervans @basecampervans]

@fellowduster @davidbateman @siliconslopes I forgot that calling someone out for insulting 1/3 of the room is “whining”, @fellowduster

[Ben Fife @ammonfife]

So @davidbateman just humiliated all of the women at @siliconslopes #SSTS19. Saying they love women at @EntrataSoftware, had all the women stand, then started introducing @AROD, telling the women “he’s taken.” He moves on, forgets about the ladies as they awkwardly sit back down.

[basecampervans @basecampervans]

@lehooligan @siliconslopes We just got an apology in 255 from @siliconslopes... how about other sessions?
