Women are not close to even 50% of engineering students or industry or academic engineers yet you go after society of women engineers?

Let's flip it - nursing, where men are a minority:

Oh look, a society dedicated to men in nursing. This is completely reasonable. The idea to go from "women are most of college graduates" to "society of women engineers should not exist" is insane.

> without comparable groups for men

Did you even try?

It's a serious topic in education, yes it's a thing people care about.

I studied with and was friends with women in my computer engineering major, SWE helped connect them with industry engineers who could speak about what it was like being a women in engineering.

As a man studying that field, I was surprised I'd never heard of that group. Then I saw how tiny it is. There are only four local chapters in all of California, with none on any UC campus.

I would personally guess that men are conditioned to "man up" and therefore are less likely to discuss, form, and join groups like this. But maybe I think that because I'm ""woke"".
