    I’m really being sincere, but why would men magically not need a job fair? They can also be unemployed and struggle to get a job. That’s not a 2x specific issue.

      I guess I’ll just copy and paste from my previous comment:

      NEARLY ALL of the other tech job fairs are dominated by men.

      Because men dominate the tech industry. It just doesn’t make sense to hold one for men.

        Eh… I think it does, but for different reasons. The tech industry has a relatively high rate of unemployment. Job fairs would be good for everyone.

        I agree that women have unique issues in tech and a women-only job fair would be a good thing. I just think General-admission job fairs are useful now too.
