It's discouraging when women look up in the tech world and see mostly men. It's discouraging when blacks look up in the entreprenuer world and see mostly whites. It's discouraging when gentiles look up in the entertainment industry and see mostly jews (All Major Hollywood studios founded by jews or men of jewish descent).

It's discouraging and painful because everyone wants to know that they can succeed. They want to know that "someone like me can make it in this industry". So it's important for people who are minorities in industries to support each other and encourage themselves.

Get mad if you want, my problem with "Women in Tech" is that many times (not all) women don't add to the tech conversation and instead focus on showing themselves as victims. When men speak about tech it's about TECH, when women speak about tech it's about "The Lack of Women in Tech".

So a site like this is a step in the right direction.

Both "just talking about tech" and "talking about the lack of women in tech" are perfectly valid and necessary types of conversations.
