The most prejudiced among us are always those quick to make the issue about themselves (poor me!) when someone tries to do something good for an underrepresented group. I assume you've never been to a "Girls who code" event (I have, and I'm a man), but if you had, I don't know how any reasonable person could think "this is a bad thing".



Precisely. Though I've never been to one personally (as a man), the women I know who have attended their events seem to benefit from it, as have the few men I know who have. The name may be "Girls Who Code", but the Boy Scouts & Girl Scouts aren't just boys and girls respectively.
