It does make sense.

How does a curated list of women in tech available for hire help solve that? Won't both companies that pay and treat women fairly in line with men already be hiring them... and women already be choosing to work for them?

I think a gender-specific list of people available for hire isn't conducive to the actual goal. We need a way to change the culture of bigoted companies.

I agree a pro-active effort makes sense... just the question is: By doing what?

(Not trying to be difficult).
