I get that. These types of headlines tend to try to highlight the fact, that these programmers are WOMEN. Well, yeah, ok, I don't care, and people shouldn't care, if programmers want to have an "inclusive" community.
Do you understand where I'm coming from?

- mbrumlow 8y agoWhen you start pointing out genders you automatically make something that was "inclusive" into a bunch of smaller exclusionary groups. In today's age women can be just as offense as man can to groups who don't identify as either. Breaking a unified group even further. All do the "Women who ..." And "Women in ..." Inititives are only causing harm by creating segregation. And in the long run fevloping separate cultures around a core topic. We don't have to have our genders as the main focus to be "inclusive" We simply need to be programmers.
- funkythings 8y agowell put! Most people don't realise how divisive identity politics is.
- matz1 8y agoBecause it is trying to highlight the fact, that these programmers are WOMEN. Nothing to do with being "inclusive" community. If you feel this is a problem then well, too bad.
