> My first impression reading your comment is that it is simply coded resentment that there is dedicated attention given to women.

Why is this automatically the reaction you have? Did you read the article titled "Maria Divina O’Brien takes us inside the Caribbean tech scene"? There is not a single thing about the Caribbean tech scene. The only information is a few paragraphs where Maria briefly talks about her involvement with some programs she has in the "scene". This feels like a fluff piece written to ensure the inclusivity check boxes for women's month are checked. It's lazy and dishonest.

The misleading title was already addressed in the parent to their post.

The comment I responded to had no commentary on the content of the submitted article, but instead described an anticipated onslaught of ‘boring and predictable’ articles because of it being women’s history month.

The reason the reaction happened is that it echoes a familiar whinging about diversity initiatives around representation.
