I have two daughters, I strongly believe that women are very talented, in particular communications, management and focus are their strengths where they can easily outplay their male competition but I dislike this women movement everywhere.
Women do not need special treatment, they are not disabled. They were enough women making stellar careers for years. Such events make women feel disabled.
But I know that many weak protagonists jump on this trend because that's the only way they can get attention (Jessica Livingston, Sheryl Sandberg and many more).
Women in tech do need special treatment, or at least they can benefit from all-female spaces where the thing that defines them to those around them is not their gender, but their achievements.
Also, please don't stereotype all men & all women as being talented in one particular sector. If (and it's a big if - as there's no scientific consensus) there is some underlying nature-based difference, common sense tells us that it would be comparable to the height difference between genders (where lots of women are taller than men, despite women being shorter on average). It's not a "women are like x, men are like y" situation.
Concluding that they therefore must be doing it purely for attention is quite a stretch. Please don't forget to consider the possibility some people simply disagree with your opinion about such events, especially when they're affected by the situation in different ways than you.
I think you didn't get my point -- they engage in such activities because they couldnt succeed somewhere else and think the cause of their failure is that women do not have same opportunities. Moreover, it's easy to get attention with this subject. Women and career is a foolproof topic press and media love. Women who really succeed do not have the time to engage and they do not need to. They don't need this special treatment because they are successful because of what they do and not what they are.
Women do not need special treatment, they are not disabled. They were enough women making stellar careers for years. Such events make women feel disabled.
