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

ITT: men who can't ever admit they might be the problem. So many excuses here it's pathetic.

edit: I love the "not all men" and "not me". As always, it's not all men. But it's enough. And the men here getting so defensive really prove the point. And before anyone gets into it, it's not really the sex or gender. It's the societal expectations and allowances that encourage men to engage in abusive shit like we see in the article here. I.e. the patriarchy and those who support it.

Can you expound on that statement?

It sounds as if the organizers were too quick to take the $650 from attendees and those willing to pay were very eager to pony up the cash in the hope of networking.

The attendees should be able to tell that they would be intruding even if the organization didn't bother to check that. Both were in the wrong.

How would they separate those intruding and those who the event was made for? Seems like a hard issue to solve

It’s abusive to checks notes apply for a job?

[–] Neato@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's abusive to invade women's spaces as a man looking to take advantage. Stay out.

Oh look, you're all up in this thread a day late posting his horrid takes.

The organization says it welcomes men's allyship and participation though

[–] derf82@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Well, it seems to be considered abusive to have a men’s space at all, and if there is one, women are downright encouraged to invade it.

The horrid tale is hating men for trying to get a job.
