> Discounts could make sense because of the evidence that women tend to be paid less than men

While it is true that many studies have shown that there is a disproportionate difference amongst the average between men and women, people working in information security are generally paid above average to start with. Furthermore, quite a lot of people who come to 44CON come through their employer.

To be honest I'd rather we gave a bigger discount to those who are paid less, but I don't know how to do that.
