9. Sure sounds like cheating and lying to me.

Men crashing (yes, I said "crashing," because they were clearly not invited) an event that is specifically not for them, some even misrepresenting their gender identity on their registrations? If that's not lying and cheating, I don't know what is.

I'm sorry to hear about all these layoffs in the tech industry. I know what it's like to get laid off, believe me. I got caught up in the big economic crash of 2008, when people in almost every industry were getting laid off right and left. Being involuntarily unemployed sucks. But that does not even almost excuse what these men did. The sense of entitlement they displayed was off the charts, and their behavior is indefensible as far as I'm concerned.
