Probably because the organizers realizes this it the 20th centuary

I dont think too many people can attend, whether they are boys or girls

> This will only scear them away

Why? These days arent the days when everyone says "WOOW!" when a single girl
show up at a party for the first time.

How can we look at the girl's screens if the girls aren't there?

> Girls enter for free or they won't enter..

I think its fair that they have to pay something to attend the party. Is TG some delicate party that stands
out from the rest of society? You dont see women paying half the price or free entrance at cinemas, do you?
Do woman get free grocery at the store? Do they ride free at the bus? Maybe they should pay 10 NOK to take
a taxi? Hmm.. I don't think so, buddy.

Now, don't get me wrong. I know that The Gathering and "computer-life" (if i may call it that) is in a special
position, and have been dominated by men for several years.. but in the latest years, more and more women are
finding their way into this world, and then we have to change certain things, as in this case, make them pay
half the price we pay. I think that is fair, and if you ask the normal girl that attends a party as The Gathering,
I think they will agree. Why shouldn't they?
