As a group seeking to give women a safe and comfortable entry into tech, I can't imagine any scenario in which supporting PyLadies would add to the problem. It may bring more women into tech who are then the subject of such misogyny, which is a depressing thought but would hopefully continue to force the issue into the public eye. More women in tech is a win for everyone — including employers. To be swayed from helping a cause like this because of negative social repercussions signifies, to me, a desire to hop on the bandwagon as opposed to a true desire to get women in tech and fight to ensure they are seen as equals.
