Bhe', c'e' chi pensa che alcune delle cose da fare per incoraggiare la 
presenza femminile siano, in pratica, proprio queste...:
 
"3.17. Don't invite only male speakers

If all your speakers are always men, women will notice and 
not feel welcome. Role models people can identify with are important 
to staying interested in a field.
 
3.18. Do ask women to speak

It's surprisingly easy to find technically brilliant female computer scientists 
willing to come speak to your group. If you explain that you are trying 
to encourage women in computers, many women will be even more likely 
to speak at your event. 
Women speakers are probably the number one way to get women to come 
to your event. They will be able to see a role model, ask her questions 
about her experiences, and for a few hours at least, not feel like the only 
woman who's interested in computers. Be sure that when you do invite a 
woman speaker that you advertise the event well, especially to women.
One woman says that she noticed her LUG paid less attention to and 
was ruder to women speakers. She thought it might be because 
the members dismissed the possibility of her knowing anything they 
didn't already know. 
Be sure not to let this happen to your women speakers." [1]

Forse il termine 'volontariamente' potrebbe rappresentare 
un po' la chiave di lettura della situazione...:
 
"Women are actively (if unconsciously) excluded rather 
than passively disinterested. 
The effect lies within F/LOSS cultural and social arrangements. 
The exclusion happens among people who often do not mean 
to appear, and who do not interpret their own actions, 
as hostile to women. 
The effect is an outcome of the importance given to the individual 
as the sole carrier of agency." [2]
 
 
IMHO sarebbe proprio bello se un tavolo tutto maschile 
cominciasse a fare riflettere gli organizzatori di conferenze!
 
un saluto
