They were meant to draw attention to Palo Alto Networks' sponsorship of a "CyberRisk Collaborative Happy Hour" at the Black Hat conference. But the publicity stunt has sparked a backlash, with critics calling it "sexist", "creepy" and "tone deaf". In a LinkedIn post, external, the firms boss Nikesh Arora admitted it was a misjudgement, saying it was "unequivocally not the culture we support, or aspire to be". The company has faced fierce criticism online for the lampshade outfits, which obscured the womens faces. "So we women are nothing more than props to you? We are only at BlackHat to be lampshade holders?" asked executive advisor Olivia Rose in a LinkedIn post, external that eventually prompted Mr Aroras apology. "Shame on you - just shame", she wrote. The image of the women was taken by LinkedIn user Sean Juroviesky, external who described the scene as "sexist". "What the hell Palo Alto Networks is it 1960?", he commented. 'Booth babe' origins The idea for the outfits seems to have been inspired by the so-called "booth babes" of the early days of the Consumer Electronics Show, in the 1960s, where women were hired as hostesses at what were mostly male-attended events. By the 1990s the use of what were often scantily-clad women in this way started facing a backlash, and by the 2010s it had largely disappeared. But the male dominance of the tech industry has not gone away - nor have concerns that women are being shut out or treated in sexist ways. When it shut unexpectedly earlier this year, the tech network Women Who Code said its vision of a tech industry "where diverse women and historically excluded people thrive at every level is not fulfilled". One of the few female tech CEOs Bumbles Lidiane Jones told the BBC this year it was "still not an equitable journey for women today" in the industry.

If someone would have went up to these women and told them they're fired because they're being replaced with male lamps, it would've been wrong that men are taking jobs from these women. Example of literally nothing being made into sexism: People have been offended at terms like "policeman" or "fireman" or "manpower." A while back we had a thread about linemen. There's people that pretend these are sexist terms, even though "man" is gender-neutral here. man noun a human being of either sex; a person. --- I'm not here for friends.

No one is even talking about what the other girls were wearing. No one cares. So I think you need to be less angry with the direction the Western World is going. Especially since things like Donald Trump and the Supreme Court are way more scary than a slutty lamp. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! http://i.imgur.com/yPw05Ob.png <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:981735954] in Tech firm ...

UnfairRepresent 08/16/24 7:45:42 AM #46:	Ok but can you not see why those are slutty lamps? Lamps don't tend to be attractive women in sensual dresses, pearls and long gloves They are lamps. I really don't get why you're pretending you don't see this. Can you post us a picture of the lamps you have? That might help us understand why you can't see what everyone sees. --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! http://i.imgur.com/yPw05Ob.png <cite>UnfairRepresent posted [p:981736051] in Tech firm ...
