Community = a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals (per @OED) = #openscience /2
Society contains every person so no. Also you have to realise that yes, it can be worse in certain movements.https://www.wired.com/2017/06/diversity-open-source-even-worse-tech-overall/ …

I don't understand your reply. What you mean with 'society contains every person, so no'? You want inclusiveness, but not for everyone?
-
Inclusiveness by definition is about including everybody provided they don't want to exclude others. Society is the yardstick by which we
-
measure how diverse (and inclusive) something is. If a society is made up of 50/50 men and women then we can draw attention to a field with
-
90% men in positions of power as imbalanced.

Science doesn't attract 50/50 men women for example even though in Psychology the undergrads start off at 50/50 — what do you think causes
-
the women to leave?

Oh I agree with you: yes, there is undoubtedly a diversity problem and biases based on gender, race, etc. But not only in science >
-
in society in general I meant. And advocating against that is certainly movement (and serves an essential cause!). I wasn't doubting that >
-
rather I questioned whether we should merge 'core science' aspects (data) with 'policies', 'attitudes', etc. (ie. for me the movement part)>
