> the kids parents are already half men, half women.

Biologically yes, but there is a wide range of single/mixed parent families and I disagree that the similarities are far different in terms of the need to make an emotional call for attendance.

So you are saying that this child's friends were mostly from single-parent homes? Are you denying that most of the child's friends had both a mother and a father?

Can you claim that the demographics here are even remotely close to the demographics among tech workers?

For voluntary attendance of a 2-year old's birthday? Yes, I'm claiming that the demographics are close, in the opposite.

I'd also like the add that the demographic of thinking people is equally balanced in terms of gender, and only culture tends to swing males and females different ways. I applaud the actions of Courtney to positively encourage women to present and thereby improve attendance levels by women.
