  Read The Fucking Article, that’s the exact reason they allowed men at the conference in question: federal nondiscrimination laws

    I’m saying I don’t buy that reason. There are no laws (afaik) that prevent exactly what I described. Federal discrimination laws typically refer to employment or public places, not private events.

      This is an employment related event. Anti discrimination laws apply to applicants.

      If it was just a networking event, no problem, ban men

        I don’t believe there are any laws that make that illegal. There are plenty of black only recruiting events, there was one at my college. If you can find me a law that says this is illegal I will bite my tongue, but from what I can tell it applies to employers, not anything close to recruiting events.
