I was referring the conclusion that these events/organizations significantly harm men.

Because the whole of 20th century labor history, which is replete with counter-examples. Women supporting other women in male-dominated professions, as a matter of observable fact, does not generally lead to discrimination against men in the work place.
- facepalm 12y agoWhere there many "women only" initiatives for male-dominated professions? "Girl Engineers" or what? The discrimination is already happening with the women only events. Why should it suddenly stop afterwards? Especially since these are women who seem to be uncomfortable around men. Why should they then hire men into their IT company?
