The problem with CircleShake was not the App itself but the sniggeringly-schoolboy manner in which it was presented.
Schoolboy humour is something that boys (and men) do when they get together in all-male environments. It is reasonably harmless in that context.
As soon as you engage in this sort of behaviour in a public context like this you give the signal that this is an all-male environment.
Hacking is not an all-male environment and it should strive to be inclusive. To do that we need to remove the all-male pack behaviour and to do that we need to start by cleaning up our public spaces — conferences, keynotes, demos etc.
