I am really conflicted about this.

On one hand, I think that it will provide a valuable resource for a large group of people, which is good! On the other hand, an online tech community designed solely for men would be met with hate and massive backlash.

If equality is our goal, how will self-segregation help meet that goal?

I am curious: have you spent a lot of time thinking about this or was this the first reaction that popped into your head?

That is a good question, and I've thought about it a lot. There seems to be a growing group of people who think it's okay for minorities to discriminate against the majority in order to gain more power, but I'm just not convinced that it's the right way to correct social imbalances. I think that it would lead to everyone both in the majority and minority feeling persecuted. I think this would fuel and maintain hatred and disdain between groups instead of finding a way for everyone to thrive within a single group. If you disagree or see a flaw in my thinking, please let me know.
