But then earlier:
So... We'd like to discriminate against men and would conversely see no problem if someone else hosted male only hiring events...?
After thinking about it that's exactly what they're doing.
They sold tickets at $700 each to loads of men. So loads of men turned up.
What did they expect to happen. They knew in advance how many tickets they'd sold and to who.. and nobody raised any flags. A few % lying about gender (if they did, gender is complex) wouldn't tip the scales that much.
