  34. …in reply to @undefined
    secboffin yeah I haven't really done extensive audience analysis and considered men as a group at all, let alone men with depression.
  35. …in reply to @undefined
    secboffin my strategy is write whatever the hell I like and if people don't like it there is a whole internet out there full of kittens.
  36. …in reply to @pilky
    pilky you don't think I should add a disclaimer? Maybe a popover? "Are you a depressed man? Look at this kitten picture instead!!!!!"

    zara_p I have no concept of engaging with the gvt. I didn't even vote last time. Kind of ashamed of that but politicians indistinguishable.

    kwugirl yeah but this is the national health service. anywhere that says you have to be passionate to survive worries me.
  126. …in reply to @kwugirl

    pilky oh like, "does that guy always interrupt women?" "he just happened to be interrupting you and [female name]"

    pilky "it's weird there are no women at this level" "oh no it just happened that the women we had left because babies"
  144. …in reply to @pilky
    pilky yeah it's not the same. It's just the general thing of, oh it's not women, it's these people happen to be women.
  145. …in reply to @catehstn
    pilky in this case, the people who happen to be women deserve to be harassed. Misogyny so entrenched they can't see it.

  359. "Does this mean we are lowering the hiring bar." damn that should be a bingo square. #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch
  360. Hiring bar is stupid as a phrase, because it's not like there is a score. #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch

  362. "We're spending all this time on diversity. If we look at the data, those pipelines are less efficient." #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch

  373. A CTO that is a woman, when introduced to board, initially there was surprise. Was like, "She's awesome" #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch
  374. "Super thoughtful. Soft spoken. Very effective." - err, soft spoken? #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch
  375. When you build small teams, if instead of try to equally distribute, put 50:50 on teams, makes them more effective. #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch
  376. I'm surprised by the 50:50 thing, know women who hate team allocation to be based on gender. Sounds a lot like that. #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch

  383. "You'll be shocked to know how biased anyone is, about anything." - Alan Eustace #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch
  384. Teaches people they are biased. Have to step back and think about what kind of bias in every situation. #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch

  386. Running a similar program at Facebook. #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch

  398. "I don't think it's active, that people are trying to hold women off... maybe it is. My hope is that it's not that." #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch
  399. "Hope that you can teach people, change this culture, hopefully you don't have to wait for all these people to die." #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch
  400. "Data says the reverse, that it was actually better 20 years ago than it is today." YES YES YES #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch

  407. "Why is not computing a language you have to take. Why is it not a requirement." #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch

  409. More pipeline blah blah blah students blah make them love coding blah #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch
  410. Facebook student program "96% diverse, got anecdotal feedback they wanted some other men in the program." #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch

  412. What do you tell students as they come into company, living with culture Alan described? How can they make a difference. #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch
  413. "Best thing you can do is be great." Small correction: Great, whilst being marginalized and harassed. #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch
  414. "Know that you will have to work so much harder... but you can make a big difference in your company." Lean in, y'all #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch
  415. "You can't be in computing without being problem solvers, and this is just another class of problem." #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch
  416. Sadly this class of problem has no promotion track. #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch

  423. "It's more expensive to hire women because the population is smaller." paying them less doesn't balance out, then. #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch
  424. Most of intuits users are women. Why doesn't workforce match so they can serve their customers better. #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch
  425. Same is true about venture capital companies. Snapchat. Tindr (they had a woman, they sexually harassed her). #GHC14 #ghcmanwatch

  992. …in reply to @catehstn
    Knowing what I'm going to makes it easier. Although last week could have collected draft tweets saying "PIPELINE". Would have been helpful.
  993. (1) Women make up 20% of software engs. 56% leave within 10 years. 63% of women in stem report being sexually harassed. #ghcmanwatch
  994. (2) Tech industry monoculture creates poor products. Long history of shipping things that don't work for large % of population. #ghcmanwatch
  995. (3) Voice recognition software didn't work for women. Face recognition didn't work for PoC. Apple health doesn't track periods. #ghcmanwatch
  996. (4) You can't just "shrink it and pink it" you have to actually think about it. #ghcmanwatch
  997. (5) Pay gap in tech industry smaller than finance. Still an average of $6,358 a year. #ghcmanwatch
  998. (6) Pipelining is when companies blame graduation rate for low numbers. Completely ignores attrition. #ghcmanwatch
  999. (7) 3 problems: 1. Grad rates declining for 20 years. 2. Disavows any responsibility. 3. Asks current female eng to fix. #ghcmanwatch
  1000. (8) Joke that being female eng you get 2 jobs. Being an eng, and being female. But you only get paid for ~88% of the first one. #ghcmanwatch
  1001. (9) Women in tech put up with so much stuff that men don't. If complain risk being harassed, sued, professionally discredited. #ghcmanwatch
  1002. (10) University students - enjoy the pipelining whilst it lasts. Discontinues once in the workforce! #ghcmanwatch
  1003. (11) Believe and amplify other women. Men have more followers, get more RTs on Twitter. You are likely perpetuating this. #ghcmanwatch
  1004. (12) Focus on your own message. If you think something could be articulated better, go ahead and try. #ghcmanwatch
  1005. (13) Check your privilege. Women have it bad in tech, trans people, PoC worse. Read "Whistling Vivaldi". #ghcmanwatch
  1006. (14) We are lucky to fight for right to equal pay. Some women still fighting for right to work at all. #ghcmanwatch
  1007. (15) Having a parent in STEM is common for women in tech. Grow up with expectation of a "professional" job, support. #ghcmanwatch
  1008. (16) Male allies avoid talking on all-male panels in general. Don't attend conferences w/o women speakers. Take the CoC pledge. #ghcmanwatch
  1009. (17) Don't be a bystander. Own YOUR OWN discomfort when women diminished in front of you. Say "I found that offensive." #ghcmanwatch
  1010. (18) Male allies can look for ways to amplify and sponsor women. anildash only retweeted women for a year! #ghcmanwatch
  1011. (19) When hiring or promoting you need women on the committee. This works for balanced speaker line ups too. #ghcmanwatch
  1012. (20) Be mindful about thankless emotional labour. Never assume she will do it, likes it, or that it is appreciated by others. #ghcmanwatch
  1013. (21) As Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie said and Beyoncé sampled, "we should all be feminists". #ghcmanwatch
  1014. (22) So let's burn the patriarchy down... Or at least tweet our dissent until men in power listen. #ghcmanwatch
