Incredibly bad take, Jen. It’s not the women’s problem. It’s not the venue’s problem. It’s a @CoinDesk problem. They used to be a respected voice in this industry. This event marks their official decline — a total fall from grace. 🧵 2/ Let’s talk accountability. Organizers took massive fees from sponsors and delivered crap. If you’re going to host at E11, the bare minimum is ensuring the performers are taken care of. A real organizer would’ve used sponsor money to provide guests with stacks for the girls. They did nothing. 💵 3/ It wasn't "cabaret vibes" — it was full-on racket stripping vibes where the performers were clearly suffering. You can’t claim to "respect" the women working while the organizers pocket the overhead and leave the performers in a chaotic, poorly managed environment. 4/ Crypto events at E11even always get this much attention. It’s not a "win" for press; it’s a repetitive, lazy spectacle. There is nothing wrong with stripping as work, but there is everything wrong with making it the central spectacle of an official industry afterparty. ❌🙅🏻‍♀️❌ 5/ It is deeply disappointing to see another female leading voice in Web3 publicly playing the "pick me" card. You don’t have to minimize other women’s valid professional concerns just to feel like the "cool, unbothered" girl who’s been here since 2016. 👎 6/ Why is hosting official events at strip clubs disrespectful? Because it forces a choice. Networking is where deals happen. When you make a strip club the "official" hub, you force women to choose between their professional growth and their personal boundaries. 7/ It reinforces a hierarchy where women are the "background entertainment" rather than the peers at the table. It’s lazy, it’s regressive, and it’s a middle finger to the professionalization we’ve been fighting for. ✍️ 8/ We should be raising the bar, not celebrating the "trench" mentality of 2016. If we want Web3 to be taken seriously, we need leaders — and media outlets like CoinDesk — who actually act like it. Done. 🎤
