    Amidst backlash against DEI initiatives,
    "Girls in Tech" has dissolved. "Women Who Code" also shuttered.

    Corporate partners pulled out; no more funding.

      In tech, it's all ones and zeroes.

      Unless it's about your gender, apparently.

        🙄

        Comeon. Nobody is pushing against having women in tech. Nobody serious is arguing against advocating for more women to be employed in the tech industry or investing into public awareness programs to attract more women to the field.

        We ARE demanding the end of gender-based hiring and promotion practices, targeting specific quotas, and limiting opportunities for some to promote opportunities for the less capable. Base hiring and promotion on merit.
