This is all true and a totally different issue.
Again you'll often hear privileged white people complaining about minorities getting any kind of advantage. And the same with wealthy people and the poor.
Most people don't realise their privilege and feel betrayed by anyone getting an advantage over them.
But this is specifically about men showing up to a women only thing which is why I focused on that issue.
My point is that looking at this just as men showing up at a woman thing inherently fails to acknowledge the reality of the discrimination on the workplace, discarding specifically any debate on why that would be the case. In other words, looking at those as just "men" is a sign of the inability to look at discrimination more broadly, and in my opinion reflects really bad on the intention of people who are working towards the elimination of gender discrimination. From my leftist perspective I see these kind of events as a push to extend the struggle to other victims of the system, rather than as those people ruining your turf.
So we shouldn't help anyone because it doesn't help others from different groups. That's straight stupid.
I was going to answer, but then I realized that if this is what you chose to understand from my comment(s), probably that means you don't want to have a conversation. I will save my time, if you don't mind.
