Completely not my experience and IMO spreading that this is true is harmful. There are multiple issues women face in tech and motherhood and harassment are just two of them. Career advancement in the boys club is another big one. spacekatgal/938035943499616261

Just been texting this dude pictures of penguins and I think this is the kind of thing that makes kwonye go "caaaaaaate" and explain how that is somehow the wrong thing to do in modern dating.

Can’t believe we are still talking about “how to get women to submit” like 1) diversity isn’t more than women 2) it’s still a fucking mystery. Hi it’s 2017 get a fucking clue.
-
Also we had this thing that was very effective and it was called “technically speaking” but the next issue will be the last because community work is thankless and draining.
-
Here I blogged: cate.blog/2017/11/02/no-technically-speaking-in-2018/
-
Also to be clear this looked at what was being done at good events and made it the standard of what we would include. That was in 2014. So if people haven’t figured this shit out as 2017 ends I guess maybe they are just bad at keeping in touch with industry standards 🤔

That “brilliant” white men insist on “freedom” to “innovate” is one of the insidious ways that they maintain a white supremicist patriarchy. Because when we insist that the rules of society need to be applied selectively we set higher standards for some - and none for others.
-
I think we all know who we have no standards for - especially right now. It was only yesterday that a racist misogynistic pedophile narrowly lost an election.

This week has been shit. I am *so* *exhausted*. Please send raccoons.

Oh my god last week I spent an hour on phone w/ Apple because someone got my account locked and now I think I have to do it again because they manage to steal a gift card that I 1) bought in an Apple store 2) with an Apple gift card 3) loaded on my phone right in there. HOW?!?
-
daljo628 I love Melanie raccoon.
-
I am super upset about this because it seems like with the receipt from my purchase someone can completely fuck with me. The receipt is in my inbox sooooooooo how did they even get it.
-
Telling myself that it is a phone call for 200 USD and this has turned into “would I make a phone call if someone offered to pay me 200 USD” and sometimes understanding loss aversion is a hindrance not a help.

Was thinking today that emotional labour is not infinite and what we are currently seeing is people running out of it. In some ways this is terrifying - so many people done in by 2017. But others empowering - because when women run out of fucks, some stories finally get told.
-
One of the many problems with that shitty blogpost from chief twit @ YC was it assumed there is no cost to hearing the bullshit other than boredom. But there IS as we have seen over and over this year - the manifestbro, all the hate from the fascist regime.
-
It’s EXHAUSTING and it has a cost and the way we deal with it is emotional labour. Emotional labour propping each other up. Emotional labour explaining to those who can maybe be explained to. Emotional labour because Manfeelings demand it. All of this is emotional labour.
-
And when that reserve of emotional labour is running low you better believe some shit is gonna come out. Let there be fireworks in 2018.
-
To all these men complaining about “PC culture” and “harmless flirting” I have thought more about every man who has touched me inappropriately without my consent more in the last month than in the last three years before that. Do you think I give a shit about your feelings here?
-
Watching these revelations come out is TRAUMATISING to every woman who has been objectified in this way. Which is, btw, most of us. Men need to stop demanding the emotional labour from women for their feelings on this topic. Understand: it’s run out. That’s why we are here.

I really don’t care about the actual money and often what I’ll actually ask for is a donation. But what I do care about is not wasting my time on people who don’t value it. People who want easy answers or just to feel like they did something by asking me for “advice”.
-
Anyway this normally ends the request. Usually with silence. Sometimes in a weird way, most likely one that is a bit emotionally manipulative (“I’m trying to DIVERSITY Y U no help”). But whatever - I don’t respond to that kind of bullshit anymore.
-
Anyway in the very rare occurrence that this isn’t just the end of it all guess what! I am happy to help and these people tend to actually do something with that help and go beyond.
-
Really this is market forces at work. I am doing exactly the amount of “diversity” work that is valued. And no more. 😂

qkate "Make sure she knows you're hetro. Mentioning a wife is good, but why not get creative?"
-
qkate "Like a good love song, sometimes you just need to show her how committed you are. This won't come across as creepy, or like you have poor boundaries at all. It's just being MOTIVATED."
-
qkate "Women often exhibit poor judgement, make sure a "no" gets revisited. If a woman was involved in the process, it's probably her fault. Make sure to mention it, would be a shame for them to miss out on a man of your calibre because of political correctness (aka employing women)."
-
qkate inannamute Yeah but we also have to keep in mind that these situations are super emotionally draining and a form of second shift work.
-
qkate 💯 have had these too.

inannamute qkate Yeah agree just think it's worth the caveat. Used to see at the conglomerate these kind of interviews but the dudes get hired anyway. Which... Makes it less worth it.

If your morals aren't costing you something sometimes, they probably aren't worth very much.

sophaskins I think it's good to be considerate but it would be a shame if you were less "you" or less willing to say what you think.

Every time I go out with this guy I wear a different hat but I guess at some point I will have to reveal the real me.

I think an Irish guy was yelling racist shit at us this evening... in Spanish. I still don’t know what to make of this.

simpledream alt_MBA Ah you should have tagged me for a referral code :)

janklausa Aha yeah the only time I went anywhere with more than two friends was... North Korea 🤔
-
@Mikegm_ire Haha maybe?
-
@Mikegm_ire Yeah I was a bit anxious but we were alright. Honestly the fact that he spoke Spanish and used it for this made us laugh. It’s pretty ridiculous.

saraheolson ABI when there was a community manager (leapingwoman), helped me find a local community of women- and a global one. The women’s ERG at the conglomerate. Stemettes. Honestly not so many? Is that sad? Mainly individuals who helped. Thing was finding them.

-
The conclusion I have come to with d&i and community is that I will only do the things I want to. This has meant primarily online and focused on supporting women in industry because I cannot spend any more of my life on the fucking pipeline.
-
And no guilt. I won’t feel bad when I say no to being a token, or just to something that doesn’t meet my standards for inclusion. I have some #feelings about ending technically speaking, but guilt is not one of them.
-
Something I’m jaded on is d&i work as a profile building tool. Especially when that cynically builds on the work of others without crediting them. Credit is FREE. No one does this alone so so why pretend? Anyway, I don’t criticize other woman publicly but I don’t forget either.
-
We got an email from someone who I had seen doing this (using and building our work without credit) MULTIPLE TIMES after we ended TS and I was like I KNEW IT. I didn’t reply saying “funny story! You were one of the reasons this project ended, congrats” but I SO WANTED TO.
-
Anyway if you want community work to happen you gotta be part of that community. Not just showing up and taking, but showing up and contributing and showing up and paying it forward. Showing up and supporting the people who organize and make it happen, like saraheolson 💕

Somehow I made post of ten quotes that define the year in tech...only three women, two of us (me and susanthesquark) quoted about the toxicity of the industry. The third is Marissa Mayer.
