I feel embarrassed to type this, but could someone explain what's wrong with that?
They are offering to give women a beer? Why is that bad? Is it because they are assuming only women drink beer? That seems the reverse of the stereotype if anything.
Edit: I think I got it - they are assuming the women will drink beer and not participate intellectually? Is that it?
Personally I would assume you would drink and participate at the same time, so maybe that's not it.
What it actually says, under the benefits for attending is "Massages, Live DJ, Gym Access, Food Trucks, Top Shelf Booze, Women, 5 Hour Energy, Perfect Fuel."
Hence the colon after "Women:" isn't addressed too women, it's clarifying how the women will be delivered to you as a perk, just like chocolate, massages, and gym access.
It was about context: The item in question appeared under the heading "Great Perks" – as if to say that women were one of the 'perks' in question.
Out of context, it appears as though they're addressing women directly. In context, they're offering women as a 'perk' to a male dominated event crowd.
