This political correctness crap must stop. So what if some young dude-bros made a bad joke? Personally, I found the spelling errors were more appalling.

Rather than instituting immature zero-tolerance policies, a better course of action would have been an email to the event organizers. It should have called attention to the offending piece of text (and the gross spelling errors)-- citing reasons why people could find it offensive.

Everyone is up in arms about gender diversity, but no one is saying _WHY_ it is a good thing.

Is it simply diversity for diversity's sake?

Yes, absolutely. You can look at organizations across the world and they will tell you that diversity is a goal for its own sake. People who come from different places and backgrounds will approach problems with different perspectives. Those different perspectives may lead to a better answer that would not have been considered if no one had been there to think of it.
