What’s the point of Miss Open Universe?

Art4Linux is running an “interesting” contest, Miss Open Universe. Could someone please explain the point of such an initiative? Is that the only thing that stands out in women’s participation? Their beauty? It only feeds the misconception of the ICT sector being not suitable for them, and only suitable for men.

Three words: Gender Shouldn’t Matter.
