men commentS
-
Discrimination is not based on gender
-
Cultural domination of European / North American men
-
Hostility by specific profile: fanatic-mapper, experimented VS novice
-
No formal impediment to participate = no discrimination
-
Lack of interest/participation must be respected
-
Doubts on the impact in the map, of the lack of diversity
-
Attention calls about agressive tone in the channels are ignored
-
Do not separate genders but do more participatory activities
-
Do not victimize women, raise awareness in general
-
Focus activities on diversity in general, not just gender

Need for integration of diversity in general, not based on gender
