The first point ("don't invite me to an event...") seems to create a bit of a conundrum. Let's say you're running an event. You've done everything you can to make the submission and selection process as gender-neutral and woman-friendly as possible, but you still have an overwhelmingly male slate. Maybe there's still some vestige of sexism left in the system. What do you do? (1) Go with the mostly-male slate. After all, you tried. (2) Reach out to women more, and admit you're doing so because you think it's important for women in the audience to see that they have a chance to be on the stage some day and/or you can't rule out the possibility that your process wasn't as gender-blind as you wanted it to be. (3) Reach out to women more, but hide your reasons. The article seems to discourage (2), but is that really worse than the other options? I'm skeptical. I'd say that (2) done well would be the best option, though I can also see how it might be done very poorly.
