In these comments I'm specifically addressing the currently "in" movement of having gender segregated events (but apparently only no-men events) as a way to paradoxically increase diversity, not of segregation as a systematic

The position taken in that link is completely and utterly sexist, and here's why. There are many in the hacker community with varying forms of social anxiety who are not comfortable around anybody of the opposite sex. Does that mean t
