GitHub cancels conference due to backlash from all male panel being selected

Flagged for being from /r/The RedPill. Maybe it's a valid thing to discuss and if so repost from a different source, but HN shouldn't be sending people to garbage pile subs like that.

While the comments may be off-putting, the initial story and links to the tweet are accurate. Why flag? No different than Huffington Post links? Seems quite hypocritical.

This is what happens when politically correctness and social justice warriors take control. The thought leaders and brightest minds in a field are replaced with social and gender appeasing minds.

Let me ask the following... If you had to have a life or death surgery performed and it was determined that best team of doctors in the entire world was white, and male... Would that prevent you from proceeding with the surgery? Would you object to the lack of diversity?

But dont you see "diversity" means anti white (and most of the time anti male as well) to these people. Show me one case where something has become more diverse by adding white people, not removing them.

Another reason I choose gitlab over github.
