I guess it depends on how you look at it.  When I see phrases like &quot;boy&#x27;s club&quot; (not in this paper), it implies to me that there&#x27;s a group of men who work (consciously or unconsciously) to keep women out.  I&#x27;m aware that it&#x27;s not at all an uncommon finding that women are pretty hard on other women, yet I think that receives very little play in the popular media.<p>Perhaps I do take it too personally - I do my very best to be fair and reasonable with all my fellows, whatever their various deviations (or not) from the industry norm might be. It&#x27;s upsetting to me to be tarred with this guilt-by-association.  I find it particularly disheartening in the venue of OSS: I&#x27;ve always viewed it as a truly fantastic collective charitable effort, yet lately it seems to be getting depicted more and more as some kind of refuge for white men to exclude everyone else.
