The Grace Hopper Celebration is meant to unite women in tech. This year droves of men came looking for jobs.

You have a job and likely an established career, to be perfectly honest your view does not mean much here. There are people struggling to get a job after going into major debt for college loans, you bet your ass they're going to grind until they get a job. Maybe put actual policy in place to prevent males from attending if that's what is desired.

I had to uproot my entire family after losing my 15 year career in an Industry I no longer could work in. I had to attend school and feed multiple mouths plus parent only to end up in an over saturated job market prone with agism. For one year i had to go back to living with my parents to attend school where I commuted 3 hours a day. So don't give me this shit about what I am or not based on clues you think you uncovered from a couple comments Scooby Doo. I know the grind more than most

And you know what I never once thought? I never once thought "hey I better go to that women's job fair."
