I wish we could have only females and only males groups, but feminists said that was all kind of -ist and -phobe, so now eat your own medicine.

Great work - some momentum on Title IX. Thanks for posting.

Whether a female wants to code or not should be her decision. Women who hate feminine women are making decisions for them.

Someone once told me that they wish the 18 yr old making decisions for their 40 yr old self had been more circumspect. I often wonder if the brainwashed individual ever comes to their senses when consequences pay them a visit.

The vast majority of the campus advocacy groups for women are not actually about helping women. They are there for 2 reasons: Making sure all departments are immersed in gender studies dogma so that at least all female students come out as good feminists. And boosting the career, prestige, and funding of the faculty members leading the group.

How college girls are coerced and bullied into joining the feminist sisterhood

At my former place of business there was a woman centric organization related to IT. They made a big deal about. And no one came. A handful of women only and then even they stopped coming. They couldn't figure out why no one was attending, cause girl power you know, so oppressed. At an org in which the president and the majority of senior leaders are women. And the entire staff is mostly women... Yeah patriarchy.

So anywho they do a survey and basically in their minds they thought they were open and Inclusive. The women who responded basically said it was boring and too focused on the woman part. Men basically said they didn't think they were invited.

So they started making it clear it was open to anybody. Suddenly attendance rose....from men who wanted to understand the women's point of view and do their part to help.

Same thing happened with the diversity group. No minorities came and they found out that, go figure, minorities didn't want to sit around and preach to themselves. So they made it open to everyone and the white staff flooded their events. And those white staff wanted to understand what minorities in IT face and how they could be better.

Point is when you truly make these Specific organizations open to all and TRULY about helping others undwrstand you point of view. As opposed to just being bitch fests or bag on everyone not like you they actually serve a valuable purpose.

I wonder if we will see a new open source initiative, one where people who don't want to put up with this kind of bullshit.

As an ex-coder myself, I can say the industry pretty much bent over backwards to get more female coders. The reality is, there are very few women who code because that's what they're into. It's just not a field that interests women, what's so horribly wrong with that?!?

It is far more probable when you see a female programmer, that she is doing it because she hates men and is seeking validation from the other women.

Regardless of the law, I wouldn't want anything to do with "GWC" either as a member, or as an employer.

Oh this is excellent

Broken_Face7 · 2020-10-24T15:42:20+00:00

It's a private college, they can make up any rules they want, right?

heyyy-kiddo · 2020-10-24T18:46:23+00:00

I really don't see anything positive with only female coders group.

First hand female programmers are rare,most girls from my uni went to my specialization cause $. Hell even some guys too.

Very few girls actually chose it because it seemed interesting. Most learn by heart and treat it like a hassle.They learn because they have too,not because they want to understand or like the subjects.

Also most girls are shit at it let's face it.....maths physics programming.... You need to just look the numbers that failed the coding exam. That thing was online and automatically graded. Your program worked and passed the random tests....ok...you pass no...you fail.

So I don't like programs that promote mediocrity into entering a specialized field and occupying positions of people that worked their ass off and actually are driven...

Give me a good women developer in my /our team and I'm totally ok with it,hell I really don't mind a nice lady mentor that can explain things properly and take her time to make sure I understood(had a women mentor like this),but don't throw someone into a position cause 'equality'.

Show me her work,her wits ,her drive... Most EE engineering guys have electronics as a hobby,I too regard this as a hobby.My job is literally my hobby...it's hurtful to see your passion beeing trempled on ...

I guess this is what happens when they create or amend these rules to effective ban male-only clubs and groups. Now it's coming back and biting them in the ass. But in some ways, this is their own fault. I bet they're crying foul on this but this is what happens. If all the traditionally male-only clubs have to open their doors to the women, the traditionally female-only clubs must open their doors to men. It's only fair.

accidental_me · 2020-10-25T06:49:25+00:00

Out of curiosity, was this something the Trump administration achieved? Is there a big risk that a democratic president will encourage univerities to start discriminating against men again more blatantly?

“Hey bro we are going to the bar tonight and watch the game, you down!”

“Nah man, I’m going to try and get into the Girls Who Code wine party. It’s gonna be wild.”

sakanak · 2020-10-24T15:31:19+00:00

"Whites Who Code"

But I get why women have a group like that. Women can't even walk around without being ogled at. I think we need equality education in our societies. That way you could have mixed groups of any kind without people feeling awkward.

newhopefortarget · 2020-10-24T19:14:33+00:00

Womp womp.

Jax_Tea · 2020-10-24T20:29:46+00:00

I think this is definitely wrong, but I also think that a male only coding group would be met with a ton of hate.

point5_ · 2020-10-24T21:50:31+00:00

Read this wrong first time and skipped the part where it says it’s a girls only group

Oishiio42 · 2020-10-24T23:30:25+00:00

My opinion is that gender-based groups are fine so long as there is equal access to resources. If there's a group that has a lot of notoriety and resources compared to others, excluding based on gender discriminates against them by providing an unfair advantage to the other gender. However, if the primary focus is comfort or safety and the group doesn't enjoy privileges being denied to other groups, it's fine to have exclusive groups.
