@drewdevault Well, what about me?
Is it really that wrong of me to not want to talk about those kinds of politics everywhere?
Don't get me wrong, I definitely feel like we should give everyone a place in the community regardless of age, gender, disabilities, ethnicity, socio-economic status etc. etc. without judgement.
But when I attend a meetup about software, I want to have talks and discussions about software, not get a lecture about gender politics or how the government is a big baddie.
I'm quite simple, I personally do not care much about whether you feel a certain gender, come from a certain background, miss a hand or anything of that matter.
If you make awesome stuff, you make awesome stuff and I wanna discuss that awesome stuff.
It's the same as when I go to a car meet, I just wanna talk about the cars people drive, burn some rubber and blow up some clutches together.
