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

    I’m really being sincere, but why would men magically not need a job fair? They can also be unemployed and struggle to get a job. That’s not a 2x specific issue.

      Because men dominate the tech industry. It just doesn’t make sense to hold one for men.

        Eh… I think it does, but for different reasons. The tech industry has a relatively high rate of unemployment. Job fairs would be good for everyone.

        I agree that women have unique issues in tech and a women-only job fair would be a good thing. I just think General-admission job fairs are useful now too.

      I guess I’ll just copy and paste from my previous comment:

      NEARLY ALL of the other tech job fairs are dominated by men.
