Where are the equivalent for young men? Literally all of the other hackathons ever. Girls who Code arose because of toxic men chasing girls and women out of those spaces. Women worked tirelessly for decades to make these spaces happen. Men just want to whine about it because to actually address the issue is too “woke”. I’m sorry you created your prison, but don’t look to us to bail you out while you’re punching us down for not helping.

It reminds me of the white supremacists raging about Black Miss America pageants for existing. But they were ignorant of the fact that the official Miss America pageant had a rule that said “no negroes” up until 1972-73.

Thank you for providing an example of the hostility faced by anyone who even raises the issue, let alone tries to improve things.

You’re not improving things. You’re trying to take away things that make the world better.

If you stuck to programs that help boys - yes they exist - maybe you’d have a moral leg to stand on.

Discriminating against some people for the benefit of others does not make the world better. And that's all DEI is.

I have no problem with programs that benefit students. All students. (Likewise workers - all workers.)
