Yeah! I see No Reason At All that a teenage girl might feel uncomfortable going to a coding camp where she'd likely be outnumbered 10:1 by teenage boys!

Right. Wouldn't want to make anyone uncomfortable. That would be terrible.

  I absolutely agree: women should be allowed to form their own spaces to learn programming if they'd like, especially if it makes them more comfortable, and it means they won't have to put up with harassment from assholes! Glad we're on the same page!

Oh noes! People who are different than me! How will I ever learn around them!? Funny how feminist concerns are essentially the same as the segregationists of 50 years ago.

  lmao are you unironically comparing the experiences of a minority group that routinely gets shit on in tyool 2014 to the experiences of... historical oppressors? That's a bad post, and you should feel bad. VVV man youre just going all in on this "being a really horrible person" thing huh VVVV c'mon step up your posting game, it's either ^^^ or /\/\/\, i prefer the former but i won't argue with the latter

    "Historical Oppressors" Sorry, I forgot to check my privilege and self flagellate to atone for the sins of my ancestors. You're right! Separate but equal is the way ahead! Maybe we can call in the national guard to escort these fragile and defenseless women through the streets on their way to code school too? We must not have men under the influence of toxic masculinity saying "hello" or "good morning" - they might shatter the women! VVV - Gee you're going all in on this White Male Guilt thing aren't you? How many fair maidens have you rescued today? VVVV - I thought it was an acronym for Very Vaginal Verbiage.
