"Only men at your event? This blog will shame you"

"The simple but now-viral idea is a project of the Finnish feminist researcher and artist Saara Sarma, who specializes in internet parody images and memes.

Whether it's a Global Summit of Women with only men on the panel or back-to-back male panels in conferences, the images on the site bring home the message that gender equality among rostrums of leaders or experts is in short supply...

"I think it is always very small steps that we take towards equality, so I don't dare to hope that manels would stop altogether, but if this makes people to think about diversity more seriously and at least some people commit to not organising all male or all white panels, I'd be very happy," Sarma says."
