"So we women are nothing more than props to you? We are only at BlackHat to be lampshade holders?"

She took that awfully personal. Does she have lampshade experience? Seriously, faux outrage is not convincing.

Not that I want to defend a quite silly exhibition, but there is a very fuzzy reference for non-silliness on security products on exhibitions like this.

Seriously, faux outrage is not convincing.

How you can know if her outrage is fake or not?

I can easily see how she could be offended. In my opinion, it's offensive on its face. Perhaps there's some sort of innocuous meaning that people missed, but I haven't seen such an explanation.
