Of course they didn't. Last time such threats were given to police they said that threats are false (anita still canceled her show... and got extra points of victimhood). When there is 50/50 chance that it's false flag - they will not risk.
Before someone blames "gamergate" - it's a false flag operation to "prove" toxcisity of gaming comunity. GG would welcome such panels and then would discus and criticise it. And mock stupidity if there would be any.Oh wait, forgot that criticism == harasement...
And here is standard "hacker" news feminist.
It's not a problem? What about tomorrow? With men vilified in tech (sexists! Rapists! Mysoggyneests!11!!) and lack of any encouragement to go for tech? But you don't care. All you care about is girls well being.
Same with domestic violence shelters - "they don't need it as they are majority of perpetrators!!", same with any male only space - male only clubs, events, even BARBER shops are 'discriminatory', but women only are ok.
That is not equal rights, not equal treatment. Let the free market decide what is needed instead of spouting hipocritical nonsense.
Award for kids I can "justify" by "well, you went against all odfs and you... got somewhere" (still, would argue for separate group with separate prizes). Women are not going against all odds - remember they are equals, as capable and stuff. As senior prize - stupid. Should not be there.
Why I singled out women? Because these "women only" prizes and headstarts are everywhere today. And I am pro equality - means no headstart for anyone.
