We got a rejection from all women scientists except for one. If we had to follow your rule for balanced selection, we indeed had to resort to inviting women just because they are women.

Each one of us gave suggestions for who to invite and everyone was invited. The speakers that you see in the event is everyone that accepted our invitation. Your argument for "men tend to invite men" is not valid. We did invite women and most of us are women.

I am sad that you feel that way but I just want to clarify the process of speaker selection. We are a team of 9 PhD students of diverse backgrounds and nationalities. Gender-wise: 5 women, 4 men.
