I run the local RailsGirls event here

If that's the case, I'm curious to hear your thoughts on two things:

1) If you don't think that gender diversity is strongly related to education, why are you participating in a group that's designed specifically to address that problem?

2) Are there not qualified female candidates for running RailsGirls in your area? If not, why do you think that's the case?

I got halfway through writing a reply and then the thought struck me "why am I wasting my time arguing with someone on the internet?"

You're doing good work, keep it up, have a great life.
