Apologies for lowering the tone, lets go for Apple Women's Entrepreneur Camp, just trying to give it an accurate title.

There are many men who receive these advantages. There are certainly many women who receive them too. It might be the case that these advantages are chanelled more toward male children due to the prejudices of their parents, but I don't know. Nevertheless, anyone like this will have an easy time starting their career even without making use of a camp like this.
I have the feeling that camps like the one in this post will mostly be taken advantage of by the already advantaged few, and unfortunately most of its possible benefits won't be realised.
It seems that the HN community responds interestingly to topics of discrimination in tech (or, "lack of diversity"). It seems that there is a bit of denial in this community that there is indeed a discrimination issue. This is merely my observation, it could be skewed or entirely incorrect. Just keep in mind, that discrimination occurs whether you notice it or not. Further, you might be less likely to notice it if yo…
Well, but isn't it that normal ? is like saying that if you buy less lottery tickets you have it harder to win than those who buy more.
I think the issue is impossible to resolve, because we make groups based on attributes, so you can always make groups that share attributes that are less common among the total. Then those groups that are minority will always have less chance, unless you discriminate in favor them.
I'm open minded and I can accept that ok, gender is like very important attribute and we'll consider only that one, and we'll discriminate for some time until things are balanced. But, then we might need to change the constitution, and make discrimination by gender allowed temporarily, right ?

Interesting initiative. Women, in my opinion (this may sound dumb, as I am a man), have sometimes a different rhythm than men, bring different interests and pay attention to different problems. So an environment more atuned to their way of thinking/being might yield great results.

unsubstantive? Are you sure you used the correct big word there? Or are you being ironic and I missed the humour?

I'm a man who was brought up in a home where I didn't gain any career advantages from my family or any connections they may have had. I've seen most of my peers at university gain entrance into their first career or internship based on such advantages, either directly or through their education at home. There are many men who receive these advantages. There are certainly many women who receive them too. It might be t…
It was never for the lower classes, so don't feel too bad.
