The explanation need not be very long. I am against sexism.
The posting includes an advertisement for an event that
excludes persons on the basis of gender. I am against
discrimination based upon gender, race, age, religion or
any other arbitrary basis. If the posting had included an
advertisment for an event that excluded Blacks, Catholics,
or folks over 60, I would have have objected in exactly the
same way.
