How do we shame this sort of sexism? (jux.com)

It seems like the premise of this picture is either 1) work for us to be near this hot chick, or 2) isn't it shocking that a pretty girl would read about javascript.

Both of these are insulting to women and developers. How do we shame this company?

I was all ready to upvote this in a passionate YEAH... and then I looked at the link. What's sexist about it? If anything, having a geek chick with a tech book makes it obvious that the company wants to hire women.

Agreed. This isn't sexist at all. Bad OP, bad.

That's the new reality these days. Put a good looking girl on the cover - they will accuse you of making women look like sex symbols. Put an all male picture and you are suddenly not very welcome to women in tech.

I agree, what the actual fuck is supposed to be sexistic here? Can't we all live in peace? And _why_ would you post that on HN anyways? It has nothing to do with technology/startup-things. I dont really care about stuff like this, and if I did, I'm sure I wouldnt visit HN to inform myself about it. Seriously, please stop posting unrelated messages. I don't ask about programming languages in a feministic newsgroup either. This submission is just noise, nothing more.

Maybe I should build a script to filter HN... this is getting overboard.
