Is anyone else bothered by the prevalence of infantilizing activities that are being labeled as pro-woman-in-tech activism?

I just received an invitation to something called FairyGodBoss, which had not crossed my radar but seems relatively well established.

I've also seen women's groups that are ostensibly about helping to increase gender diversity that host activities involving legos and arts & crafts.

Am I the only woman that finds this infantilization incredibly obnoxious? I have a visceral aversion to it.

Or maybe this isn't related to gender, but is a generational thing? As someone in their 30s am I just too old to "get it"?

It bothers me because I feel like it's an important issue that's being dumbed down. Or at least repelling people who would prefer to take it more seriously.
