> If you know some anwsers please share it to me and believe me I won't ask it over and over again once I get it. I think this is part of the issue - the subject of women's business groups and their psychological efficacy, and at a larger scale women's under-representation in tech, has been a conversation in cyberspace/meatspace for several years. At some point, asking the same questions about the premise of a movement become an affront to the movement itself. You can compare this to other identity-based movements; asking the question "why are there all-black congregations? Are those even psychologically beneficial for black people?" or "why are there gay bars? Do they actually promote well-being for gay people?" are not questions that people ask (in the part of the world that I'm in) because those questions seem like non-issues: of course black people want to feel community with other black people. Of course gay people want to connect with other gay people. It's perceived as almost rude to ask! Maybe this has to do with a cultural mismatch. For many, gender politics has been a frequent conversational topic in their information spheres for many years. For you, it may have not been. Just a perspective for moving forward. If you're interested in understanding the female perspective in tech, I would recommend being a fly on the wall in communities of women: https://www.facebook.com/groups/LadiesStormHackathons/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/LadiesStormHackathons/ https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/ https://www.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/ And also reading these essays: https://www.amazon.com/Men-Explain-Things-Rebecca-Solnit-ebook/dp/B00IWGQ8PU https://www.amazon.com/Men-Explain-Things-Rebecca-Solnit-ebo...
