Dear All,
With all the respect to all the people who were so far involved in this discussion - would it be possible to stop it right now?
I would suggest that you continue it directly or establish a new mailing list dedicated to the subject.
Thanks Gabor

I have to admit that I was utterly shocked to see this statement.
It is bad and sad enough that respected leaders in science do not see any problem with announcing ~100% male speaker line-ups. And it is not the first time, but seems to repeat itself over and over and over again.
It is also quite distressing for me to see that you did not even feel the need to reply to the concerns brought to you in a timely manner.
But then to go on and *belittle* somebody who mustered enough courage to voice his opinion? This is appalling.
If anything, it is proof to me that there is a serious lack of empathy in science. I perceived this response as just a bullyish method to discourage dissent.
But maybe this is just a cunning strategy to demonstrate the dear need to balance out the gender inequality in science's higher ranks?

No, the real victim is science. Good, decent, polite scientists are driven out of science by the problem that elicited this email thread.
I hope that a few will remain.
Ciao,
