 🙏 disagree. 🙇🏻‍♀️

there’s a time & place for anything.  

sometimes da boys get together and do their boy things.

the girls ~also~ love to get together with just the girls and be girlie. 

i always wish to go to natalie’s brunches.  they seem cool & fun.  i don’t see that as “isolating ourselves.”  it’s just another thing.

…and yeah…in general spaces of sophistication, everyone *would* feel welcome…but there are exceedingly few general spaces where _most_ da boys (and some girls too, like esp the karens) are ultra enlightened & highly civilized.

women absolutely do benefit from having women-only spaces.  it would be great if there were no explicit “need” for them & just done out of a preference for a different kind of fun, but we totally do “need” them still in 2024.

 Yes, I love having girl time… during my time off. Bitcoin conferences are working time, specially networking, and the leaders of this industry are mostly men. By creating female only spaces we are not participating in the actual event with everyone and reaching the leaders that will eventually work with us.
