I agree, it's an implicit exclusion rather than an explicit one (which
is a lesser evil in my opinion, though perhaps harder to see/tackle). I
don't think I've ever been to an event which has said "men only", even
if all the attendees happen to be men.

Without wanting to start anything on this, I actually feel that geeks
are far more tolerant of LGBT people (or whatever the current PC phrase
is) than other communities I've been in - or perhaps it's because there
seem to be more people like that in geek/sci-fi communities, so people
don't see it as "odd".
