"Listening to women is part of a distinct project. It's not something I do, y'know, day to day."
-
Illustrates an important point about the othering of women in tech. The need to build women-places, because we are not, in general, welcome.
-
This annoys me so much even though I think following women because they are women is bullshit. But not following any is super indicative.
-
If you want a broader range of perspectives you have to actually be open to listening to people with those perspectives.

phessler I don't believe those upgrades exist anymore! When I have flown SA BC is always empty & don't do paid upgrades at checkin either.
-
Wake up with a desire to write code and concrete things I want to do... Remember it is no computer day. Lie down again and read Twitter.

phessler maybe but seriously have done those flights often and BC is usually deserted. They just don't do it. Also they have suites.

duncan the thing we don't talk about as devs when we talk about what versions to support are those who are on old versions are mostly...
-
duncan those who cannot afford to upgrade. And often a smartphone is their primary device for accessing the internet.
-
"If God lets me live, I'll achieve more than Mother ever did, I'll make my voice heard, I'll go out into the world and work for mankind!"

mrb_bk I had cried within about 15 minutes of coming in here.
-
dontgetcaught saw this and thought of you.
-
duncan I can see why it is hard to make the economic case :) but from a wider point of view - yes.
-
mrb_bk I can't imagine. Since I've been living in Berlin I've been beginning to understand the history in a way I never did before.
-
mrb_bk we learned in school about the atrocities but more terrifying is the gradual steps taken to get to them.
-
duncan selfishly as an engineer it is depressing to work around OS problems solved 2 years ago. Better compatiblity libraries would help.
-
mrb_bk thanks for following along! Twitter makes solo exploration so much less lonely :)
-
duncan YES THAT.
-
dontgetcaught yes!

RachelleGendron oh yes! I heard about it. Brave woman. Thanks for thinking of me!

-
SwiftOnSecurity recently discovered the 20s was a brief period of more progressive attitudes so we've just been going downhill for a while.
-
We talk about how women are socialised out of coding but not about how we are socialised into broader interests.
-
Most of the technical women I know are polymaths or renaissance women who are talented and skilled on multiple dimensions.
-
What would it look like if a tech company harnessed that instead of crushing us? I think it would be transformative. Fucking UNSTOPPABLE.

Wadhwa's rhetoric on "attacked" by "angry mobs" is casting himself as a victim instead of listening to critique, and is deeply insulting.
-
Search for the Twitter handle of any female GG victim and you will see what harassment looks like.
-
RT JillWetzler: catehstn You'd think an advocate for women in tech would know what an angry internet mob really looks like.
-
JillWetzler yes, you would. Poor research there IMO. Expect he had some woman doing it for free though so understandable?
-
Also the comparison to the Sandburg / Grant articles. These are well-researched articles with a woman having top billing as co-author.
-
Let's be clear: critique is about sexist comments and narrative from man who claims to know better than those of us who experience it.

A tech bro once went off at me when I found a memory leak in code review. Culminating in suggesting I wasn't "qualified" to review his code.

Finding Wadhwa's behaviour tediously typical of tech-bros. The added feedback cycle of GG is just making this one more extreme.

We should absolutely criticise Wadhwa but we should also recognise not isolated - it's a common pattern of behaviour amongst entitled men.

.JillWetzler did he? Or did he get some women to agree to without being paid?
-
I have no snark left for Wadhwa. He has become a parody of himself. And also a gamergater. Fucking hell.
-
But I think all this illustrates how grateful women are expeved to be when someone "stands up" for us.
-
It's being a decent human. You don't get a fucking cookie. Apparently you do get to be a media personality. Which should worry us.
-
Aside from dismissal of women as "token floozies", "elite feminists", his profile was built on the unpaid work of women. This is a problem.
-
Paying women is a feminist act y'all. Exploitation of women will not make a dent in the inequity of this industry.

My feminism will pay women for their work or it will be bullshit.

plragde lol I read a novel which is kinda like napping... And now I feel guilty and nauseous.

linse I actually thought that was your ebooks account
-
Wadhwa may have retired from the lists but I see that other powerful men are stepping in to tell women how to feel and what to think.
-
WillingCarol haha are you on the program committee? ;)
-
WillingCarol yes I was reading their mentoring page today. It's good!
-
Let's get real: Wadhwa's "quitting" post was the kind of "I was wronged by a woman" bat signal we have seen used to great effect elsewhere.
-
He points out women in particular who have "harmed" him, if these women become targets he will claim asking for "moderate debate".
-
Maybe I missed something but to my knowledge there were no accusations of sexual harassment. He started talking about being accused of that.
-
He claims that he has been being bullied and harassed. I periodically search "Wadhwa", found content mostly supportive. Anyone can do this.
-
Basically: this tweet again. catehstn/561178968129568768
-
Wadhwa says he isn't an ally, he's a researcher. How can a researcher not know about this COMMON PATTERN OF BEHAVIOR.
-
Ultimately we have a question: malice or incompetence? Either way, we are going to see women suffer for this.
-
RT dearsarah: catehstn Contrary to his assertions to manymanywords, search shows exactly zero tweets accusing him of being a "harasser" …

The idea that women have to have be "qualified" to critique this shit is DEEPLY problematic. This is just a tool for dismissing critique.

-
Luckily I worked somewhere so insular almost no-one noticed I was an angry Internet feminist. Also now I've escaped i can speak my mind.
