It's something that most tech companies would be willing to sponsor, not political at all.
- tomjen3 6y agoStrong disagree here. By only including women they have made it highly political.
- angry_octet 6y agoIt is political to sponsor an organisation attempting to correct for the disincentives women face in technical fields. Some people would prefer not to sponsor that, as they believe women are represented at their natural and correct ratios in tech. Basically some people see affirmative action of any kind as anathema, and they get angry and insecure when these things are suggested, and people respond in turn. So I see how this could become a source of conflict.
