No, that is what statements like yours do. Contrary to popular belief, not all women share a single brain and all think the same thing. Many women do not like being singled out with patronizing events like this. They do not enjoy being reminded once again that they are not "programmers" but "women programmers", to be used as tools to score points in a game of politics.
- logjam 13y agoContrary to your belief, there is absolutely nothing "patronizing" about supportive events in a hostile environment, a hostile environment created by decades of outright misogyny and sexual harassment, accompanied by decades of sticking ones head in the sand by others - like you and the OP.
