All Male Panelist talks about Gender Equality & Inclusion in the Workplace

Paypal is actually very good on diversity&#x2F;LGBT&#x2F;gender issues.<p>The implication of the headline is that the event, the panelists, or Paypal are sexist -- which is obviously untrue.<p>I don&#x27;t believe inflammatory &quot;culture war&quot;-related content like this (where the main purpose is virtue signalling, generating outrage, and mean-spiritedly making fun of companies), belongs on the frontpage, so personally I flagged this submission.

Unless there was a big conspiracy to make sure that this was an all-male panel, I don&#x27;t see what the big deal is.<p>There&#x27;s something about diversity movements that I still struggle with. I see a commenter on the linked post saying &quot;at least they&#x27;re not all old white guys&quot;. I&#x27;m half white. Would that make it half-problematic for me to be a panelist in a discussion like this? Would a transgendered panelist be half-OK? Why are we talking about how OK participation is based on the gender, race, and age of the person participating?<p>The usual response I get to this sort of question is &quot;Well, it&#x27;s about including under-represented minorities&quot;, but I don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s inclusive to exclude the majority. I don&#x27;t want to be included in something just because I&#x27;m half hispanic and I don&#x27;t want to be excluded just because I&#x27;m half white. Both of those things seem unproductive to me.

Better a couple guys talk about it than nobody at all. Also &quot;discussion with our senior male leaders&quot; implies to me that the audience is included.

How is that more sexist than if it was all women &#x2F; mostly women?
