Yes you are right that I am excluding men from this particular project, but that does not in any way discount or disvalue men's experiences in learning to code. Not at all. As a woman myself, I'm curious about women's experiences, but that is not to say that men's experiences are invalid or not worth researching.
You say you don't care who disagrees with you. Well, this is more of an explanation of where I'm coming from. I appreciate your comment, as it prompts me to examine my motives and biases. Truly, I mean no disrespect regarding the struggles of men who are learning to code.
PS Don't apologize for "making waves" - you're sharing your opinion about what I'm doing. I think that's fine.
I edited my comment and removed the "I don't care who disagrees". It was my emotion at the moment...and before I had my coffee (what was I thinking!). I removed it because it doesn't open dialogue. We should all feel like we can express ourselves.

May I ask why we are being censored though? I see both my comment and Oleksandr's comment are being marked as "low quality/non-constructive" by someone, an admin I assume.
