Going to have to disagree with you here. I appreciate your pragmatism on the matter and do wish there were more women in technology BUT I think principles are worth "getting huffy about", and any sort of discrimination based on a genetic roll of the die is fundamentally wrong. Always and forever. In every case. It's stupid, it's Wrong (writ large).
Let's just not do it.
- tptacek 17y agoPresumably you have a problem with all the other "women-in-technology" events that occur across the industry? Because you're tilting at windmills, and not even particularly good ones.
- dschobel 17y agoAs I commented elsewhere in this story, I think a more productive angle would be to try to advertise to and welcome women rather than say "no guys, unless you come as a guest of a girl". There's a subtle but fundamental difference in those two messages.
