Fwiw there are some groups like that for men in industries where there's historical stigma against male participation, like nursing: http://www.aamn.org/ http://www.aamn.org/. Doesn't even seem particularly controversial; the AAMN doesn't generate nearly the level of anger that women-in-tech groups do.
- seabee 12y agoThere's no controversy because these goals are always seen through the lens of society as a whole. Groups like the AAMN helps people who are generally privileged achieve parity in an area where they are currently stigmatised. They don't do anything that looks like it erodes male privilege, so there is no reason for them to attract any ire.
