What is next, requesting bodybuilders at knitting conferences?

Ha ha ha, that’s a good one! :))
I also agree that the whole diversity thing and trying to be politically correct on all the fronts is doing a disservice. If woman didn’t apply to speak, then please accept that fact and live with it instead of trying to force the gender proportion.

Another example that just came to my mind: railway model building. You can’t help but to accept that men are those predominantly interested in this hobby. You’d need to cancel all events related to railway model building, as you’ll never reach 50/50 gender distribution. That’s the fact.

And the same holds true for other topics. Some are more often chosen by men and some are more often chosen by women. We really need to stop this political correctness before reaching more absurd situations.
