What an excellent and eye-opening article Abbey Perini. I feel really sorry for all the things you had to abide by during your tech career. Luckily there are companies who are not looking at whether you are a woman or man but appreciate your knowledge and skills. I am also lucky as I work in such a company. 😊 Cheers, Miki

True - it does take creating an inclusive culture to make women feel welcome in tech. Unfortunately, the quoted comments weren't just said to me in a professional context and were all said to me by multiple people. We'll have to keep working to bring that inclusive culture outside of the companies where you can currently find it. That way women won't have to spend time trying to discern if it's a company with an inclusive culture and won't have to hear this kind of stuff everywhere.

The real question is how do we break this cycle of erasure and devaluation in and out of the workplace?

Completely agree Abbey Perini.

I will think about what can I do to aid women in tech. 😊
