The Grace Hopper Celebration is meant to unite women in tech. This year droves of men came looking for jobs.

I know that, of course, I was using my initial points to set a frame of reference that the word "discrimination!" is a thought-terminating cliche.

    This comment thread is a completely bad faith framing of the issue. Creating safe spaces for women in tech isn't discrimination. It's elevating a traditionally underrepresented demographic. Lemme guess, you guys talk a lot about divorce court right?

    I think you've misinterpreted me. I'm saying that it's not discrimination to force people to stop discriminating in favor of white men.
