Women need a room of their own. Women's groups tend to focus a lot on women's roles as mothers, or serving mothers. If there is going to be a woman-focused group it is best that the group is focused on women being people, not just parents that exist to serve others. Mothers are people too you know!
'''Women need a room of their own.'''


I haven't met many women's coding groups where there are people who actually code :)


For some reason women are generally encouraged to do web design and javascript and in women's programming courses people hesitate to introduce meatier topics like go etc. I don't know why this is. Stuff is presented as being very "hard" even when the women present are math majors.

'''Building yourself and your mind is the best thing you can do for society because then you are all that you can be'''
 
=== Positive patterns ===
* Women often are made to feel guilty for doing stuff for the sheer intellectual pleasure of doing it.
* It is ok to not work in children's education
* It is ok not to do stuff for the benefit of charity
 
 
That being said, women's programming groups should be creative and actually result in fun coding and exist as a human being, not a servant to society!
 
We have a GitHub at SudoRoom here:

Most of the projects are started by men, and I've seen many promising women diverted over the years to projects like charity and children's education. It's pretty disappointing and a huge waste of potential.
