This is so disingenuous because it completely ignores why a woman’s tech conference needs to exsist in the first place. I hope you’re not actually convinced that you care about equality and realize where the urge to argue against a woman’s tech conference being for women comes from.
The article implies that it’s somehow harder to find a job in tech as a woman. In my experience in IT this is quite the opposite. Every company I’ve worked for where I was involved in the hiring process would have loved to hire more women. The problem is that women don’t choose a career in IT.
I also always found it weird when I hear that women choose jobs that don’t get paid more. As opposed to people asking why are womens jobs have been historically devalued.

You were so close at the end there…. Now ask yourself why women don’t choose a career in IT? (Hint, it’s not because the requisites of the field)

Because jobs are paid not by how valuable they are to society but by how much profit they generate for their employers.
Not profit, but how hard the role is to fill. More supply, less demand in terms of salary.
Teachers are in short supply and get shit pay.
Because men and women have different preferences? How is this a problem? Should men and women like the same things?
