NIPS and TITS were two big computer science conferences, and real people would argue "There is nothing sexist about those names," and then still expect to take you seriously as a person whose only job was thinking.

you're either pretending not to get the issue, or you really don't get it. both of those make almost everybody feel sad for you

and in either case, you didn't realize how deeply embarrassing it is to admit "yeah, i don't see why everyone thinks 'NIPS' is a bad conference name."

you are a PHD STUDENT!! you are staking your LIFE on A CAREER THAT'S ONLY ABOUT THINKING!! you can't see the problem with a conference named TITS?
