No it isn't.

Presenting it was not an act of discrimination or hate. It was inconsiderate and possibly both crude and dumb.



If its not sexist, then can you explain why it is inconsiderate?


I understand that you're attempting to imply that showing consideration demonstrates an admittance of guilt. I'm afraid that's not a compelling argument.

It's inconsiderate, because it could potentially make some members of the audience uncomfortable or self-aware. This would not be a concern if you knew the comportment of your audience. Snoop Dogg doesn't present himself or his content the same way on David Letterman that he does at a concert.

Someone being uncomfortable with your content doesn't invalidate it nor does your taking their discomfort into consideration in either content or presentation.

It shows that you are a mature human being with empathy.


Why did it make the audience members feel uncomfortable?


It's inconsiderate because they got all the men thinking about tits at a mostly tit-less conference.
