But if that's the case, why start a thread about "Dope Female Designers and Designers"? Isn't that "identifying the differences amongst us"? And why is that a bad thing? Aren't different perspectives a good thing?

I'm not picking on you, but I see this a lot-whenever the goal is empowering women, it's a grand ideal, and everyone gets behind it. But as soon as the topic becomes about empowering blacks or Hispanics or anyone else, all of a sudden it's not "creating unity or equality".

I'm just saying, if we all can agree there are underrepresented among us, there's nothing wrong with helping all of them get some shine. Rising tide raising all boats, and all that.
