Electronconf (organized by GitHub) postponed because all the talks (selected with a blind review process) were held by males.

Its just funny when their own delusions play against themselves.

They believe women are not represented in tech because of discrimination, so a blind selection will solve it... Turns out all men. Lovely. Reality can be a bitch when you believe in nonsense.

Same thing happened when they started blind interviews for musicians for orchestras. it was done to help women get the jobs on the basis that feminists said women were discriminated against. Turns out with blind interviews more men got through.

No worries though -- feminists simply cooked the data and published results claiming the opposite happened.

Like it should be our problem that women don't want to work in tech
