The Grace Hopper Celebration is meant to unite women in tech. This year droves of men came looking for jobs.

Federal anti-discrimination laws disallow this. It has nothing to do with the “definition of women”.

which law prevents a private female only conference from happening? As far as I know, there are no such laws.

Read The Fucking Article, that’s the exact reason they allowed men at the conference in question: federal nondiscrimination laws

I’m saying I don’t buy that reason. There are no laws (afaik) that prevent exactly what I described. Federal discrimination laws typically refer to employment or public places, not private events.
