A friendly reminder that tech gatherings exclusively for women and gender-diverse people ARE justified and important.
If you are a man and don't believe me, please seek to get invited to one and see what it feels like to be a sole representative of your gender in a room full of techies – even if they're friendly and welcoming (like women are, more so than men), you will feel a combination of inadequacy, discomfort and exclusion.
Necessary until we have a safe, inclusive and diverse community.
