yms: The usual sexism
Deutsche Welle TV produced a talk show including participants from the summit. The moderator told the participants should come early, because there are five "girls" on the show and they will take much time doing the make up. When I asked why the "girls", one of the participants said "because he is a sexist" and he jokingly confirmed this, explaining further how for "girls" with their hair make up takes longer than for men like him. (One of the participants was Helga, whose hair is definitely shorter than his, but I have to admit she got much more make up than him.) See the making of video for another of his casual, supposedly innocent sexist remarks (the short haired "girl", the "girl" with the scarf and the male participant are not featured during the make up session).

PS: On the last day we have to fill in evaluation sheets. We comment on them not really being anonymous and my neighbour says, one can distinguish male and female handwritting. Looking at my evaluation sheet, he, however, has to admit that mine is not clearly female. Joining in the biologistic argument I argue that my handwritting is not so female because I have a small beard and my hormones are not ok. He seems confused.
