There's a #computerscience club at my school, that I just joined. It seems kind of direction-less at the moment, and discussions get way off topic and stuck in tangents with a bunch of pedantic "well, actually," droning. Worse, the first day I went in the club, the club president made a sexist joke, and it's pretty unfortunate since there's two women in the club (a cis young lady and me).
Any ideas on how to suggest improving the club without being an insufferable SJW in their eyes?
@ikea_femme I'm sorry to hear that, and props for making yourself heard in the discussion. I have not much advice beyond talking to the other woman there, and find where your ideas of what you want from the club intersect. Then see if you can start organising together (and maybe with other women who are not members but would be were it better) to steer the club (e.g. through pushing for topics for meetings, activities, etc) towards being something relevant and less toxic.
