> Where is the Male only founder conference?

Sorry, but this is off-topic because it predictably leads to tedium (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13241873). It also breaks the site guidelines, which ask you not to do classic flamewar topics on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html).

We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13259484 and marked it off-topic.

You know, Dang, this whole thread is a flame war topic. Why didn't you delete that? Oh, I know why, because it supports your side of the ideological narrative.

All people are asking is that you apply your own rules to your own selves. It should be obvious by now that these double standards do not make for community harmony.

It's a matter of degree. The OP has flamebait aspects, but it also has substantive, on-topic material. Obviously we're not going to treat all such stories as off-topic just because some people make flamewars out of them. If we did that, people could kill any story just by flaming enough.

"Blah blah blah what about nurses fuck you", on the other hand (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13241873), has no merit as a subtopic at all—not after the number of times we've all endured it. I trust that most HN readers understand that when we make a call like this, it isn't about ideology, but about not subjecting the community to tedium.

> your side of the ideological narrative

We hear this often enough from a minority of readers who feel strongly about ideology. However, it varies (quite reliably in fact) with the ideology of the beholder. To me that seems like evidence of cognitive bias at work, since it's same body of moderation decisions being interpreted in conflicting ways.

There is a big differences between "Not enough" and "Female Only".

Social dynamics often make it so that "nearly all male" is actually not that different from "male only". If you have better ideas about fixing the inequality, a lot of people would be very interested.

I haven't watched your video, but "this female only conference is a good idea" does not mean "all female only events are always great ideas".

A bit of side note, but in the video the organizer give a few examples of profession that the girls can become from studying science and the first one they mention is veterinarian. When asking the girls themselves, they too say veterinarian as the reason to study science.

Veterinarian is a profession which got around 90% women and only 10% men, with a trend that predict all women and no men in a few years. Kind of ironic example of gender equality activism.

Thanks, that explained a lot.

One side demanded equal opportunity, but actually have greater opportunity than other side. However equal opportunity does not guarantee equal outcome.

I will check the list 10 years from now.
