I believe that my joke (perhaps in poor taste) isn't being taken as I intended. I'm a Python programmer, and my favorite feature of Python is the community. https://www.python.org/community/diversity/ I was only trying to make light of an otherwise painful reality.

There's a need for women's coding schools, and their alums will only make our field better. Congratulations to Hackbright Academy on an acquisition well deserved.

Perhaps because the market is saturated with coding schools that are chock-full of men, and thus there is no demand for a men's coding school.

It seems quite obvious that being a women-only school was an asset for them.

Yes, you could resist, you just chose not to. You're still free to delete the comment.
