That only addresses the problem of misogyny, not the problem of using
non-technical (sexy) arguments for advertising products or services
that are of interest to the IETF community. The bits & bites is not the
CeBIT, there is no need to result to trickery to get the attention of
attendees. (apart from the bites which targets everyone equally)

Adding booth boys is not the solution :P
