There’s a Lon­don Geek Din­ner for Girls on the 16th August. Visit the wiki and sign up.
Sounds like a fun eve­ning. Guys are allo­wed to attend, but only if one of the girls invi­tes them first.

    Hi, I just loved your “How to Be Crea­tive” book. It was also a bit scary, that water­coo­ler gang, and wai­ters who had empty­ness in their words. *shiver*

    Finally, after all that marketing-by-blogging business-idea smo­kesc­reen crap, the *real* hugha­genda is revea­led. Good luck!

    I believe you have a date for the Girly Geek party… :) I like the car­toon for it!!! Very funky!
    Maybe you should bring your note­book and pen with you and do one for each of the girls you meet at the party… It could be sooo funny!
    You’ll have loads of fun. I pro­mise!

    Why? Why do women need to be segregated?

    I agree, Suw. It sounds dread­ful…
    But then when I was 20 I used to go out to a women-only les­bian club night called Venus Rising. I never had a pro­blem with that (and was always amu­sed to see the pre-op tran­nies there) mainly because I’ve always pre­fe­rred gay bars and clubs (men’s and women’s) to straight ones. I loathe being hit on all night by drun­ken idiot men… I can avoid that com­ple­tely in gay clubs and only very, very rarely have had to poli­tely fend of a girl in les­bian clubs.
    Geek events, in my expe­rience, are not at all about trying to get a shag by the end of the night, so I’ve never, ever felt like ‘prey’ in the way that I do in other social gathe­rings.
    Geek events are for ‘geeks’ to get together and talk.…it doesn’t mat­ter *what* they’ve got bet­ween their legs or with whom they want to use it with…
    Still, if you want a date, Hugh, I’ll see if I’m in town that night…

    It’s not that women need to be segre­ga­ted, it’s just that we need a little more expo­sure. To work together to get that expo­sure is great. That is what this event is about. It is not about just get­ting a load of girls together and to find a date at the end of the night. That is what nightc­lubs and bars are for.
    This is sup­po­sed to be a fun event where the girls get to meet and just have a girly night chat­ting about tech stuff and wha­te­ver takes their fancy. It is not women against the world or anything radi­cal.
    Come down and join us if you don’t believe me. Go on. You’ll have a good time.

    Gee Suw, after giving this some thought the only rea­son I could think of was:
    “Because sexual apartheid is fun.“
    But I’m not sure if that one is allo­wed. Please advise.
