I suspect it's more likely that there's just a lot of latent talent in women due to being undervalued. A female-only group is a coarse way to create an org that unlocks that value, but there are plenty of ways to do it in a mixed environment. One that I'd like to see more of is a zero-tolerance policy for anyone who marginalizes women in the workplace (e.g. people who file tone complaints only against women, people who talk over women in meetings, supervisors who make gender-based promotions, women getting paid less due to "market rates" etc.) I see a lot of those things still happening in tech companies, which leads to women underperforming in mixed groups.

There is no case made that women are actually undervalued apart from the delusion that the sexes somehow have to be equal. You can equally argue that there is a lot of talent in whites being undervalued due to mixed-race workplaces, using just as much evidence

  this is why moderation is required. if a group facilitator allows a womans attempt toward contribution to be loudmouthed over into oblivion there is an entrenched problem. this is not a tragedy of the commons this is systemic fraternalism
