If the slides were of naked males in erotic poses I’m pretty damn sure there would be complaints and calls for an apology.

The only reason this has degenerated into an argument rather than a full and fair apology is due to the under-representation of the minority who would be most offended by this. This is a horrible display of arrogant adolescent behaviour by a group of people who should know better.

It's the kind of male-centric, mysoginist, borderline autism when it comes to gender issues that we should all be used to seeing all over the technology sector. It's the stuff of dinosaurs, and thankfully becoming the preserve of the minority. It needs to be, because these kinds of attitudes - both in the presentation and some of the comments - prevent true inclusiveness and will cause huge amounts of harm to any project.</p> This isn’t limited to Rails, or Ruby.
