>what is morally wrong and ironic is the fact that an outreach effort excludes 50% of the population.
Pure nonsense. In the (apparently) hostile to women environment that is tech, it makes perfect sense to have women-centric meetups so that women can feel comfortable exploring technology and develop bonds with other women that can help them counteract bias.
What you should be questioning is why there is a need for a women centric event. Dismissing these issues and turning it around to ask why its excluding you (lets be honest here, this is exactly what you're doing) is the only thing morally wrong here.

No, it is excluding part of the problem.
But hey, if your approach is to teach women "don't get raped" rather than tell society "don't rape", be my guest.
Your response has absolutely no connection to anything I said. It's rather impressive in its unrelatedness, actually.
