Before this devolves into a how-uptight-is-this-person-really? discussion, I was impressed with the OP author's levelheaded, friendly response to someone who reportedly made, IMO, a pretty egregious slide:

I have to say, I was not sure, but this slide was very mean.


> "We are hiring fashion interns" and the photo on the slide shows girls in underwear. Disappointing. (Upside: quite a few girls at #seedhack)"

The word sexist is going to lose all meaning if people throw it about like this.


So what is lacking from that slide, as the OP depicts it, that disqualifies the OP interpreting it as sexist?
