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

I know that, of course, I was using my initial points to set a frame of reference that the word “discrimination!” is a thought-terminating cliche.

This comment thread is a completely bad faith framing of the issue. Creating safe spaces for women in tech isn’t discrimination. It’s elevating a traditionally underrepresented demographic. Lemme guess, you guys talk a lot about divorce court right?

600 dollars for a ticket to a conference is creating a safe space for women?

I don’t know the last time I talked about divorce court. Maybe we should be using facts instead of guesses.

I think you’ve misinterpreted me. I’m saying that it’s not discrimination to force people to stop discriminating in favor of white men.
