  11. I am on bumble again so I have some thoughts on objectification and manipulation. Bear with me.
  12. …in reply to @catehstn
    So any (straight) woman on a dating site has got obscene messages. Some dudes open with them. I find it gross, and I bet the success rate is low, but it’s actually quite efficient. If the dude gets a response, it’s presumably from a woman who is okay with that.
  13. …in reply to @catehstn
    I don’t like these messages. But the ones I find more creepy in some ways are from the guys who are like, hey, what are you looking for? A serious relationship or just to hook up? I hate the way the question is framed - it’s objectifying. And the whole strategy is manipulative.
  14. …in reply to @catehstn
    Why objectifying? Well to reframe the question: are you hoping a man wants to wife you, or are you hoping a man wants to fuck you? In both of these questions the woman is the object, and it presents women as wives or sex objects, but never both.
  15. …in reply to @catehstn
    It’s manipulative because it frames it as: if you aren’t looking for a relationship, you must be okay with meeting a random for sex. For women “wanting” a relationship has a bad rep (aka desperation) which creates pressure to choose the other option.
  16. …in reply to @catehstn
    There aren’t two options here, there are a thousand, many of which don’t start with deciding whether or not you want to have sex with some dude you’ve seen three pictures and two sentences about, and this has been your only interaction. It’s not a strong first impression.
  17. …in reply to @catehstn
    Or maybe it is, for me it’s a strong no 😂
  18. …in reply to @plragde
    plragde Yeah that seems less creepy but still a little premature for someone I haven’t met?

    triketora Maybe?
  20. …in reply to @catehstn
    I had one of these exchanges this morning and the guy was like “are you up for some adult fun” and I said “not with you” and now he’s blocked me 😂
  21. …in reply to @plragde
    plragde was that a big problem?
  22. …in reply to @catehstn
    So I think the strength and weakness of online dating is that it allows you to reach people outside your social circle. This is the benefit! But the downside is that it frees people from social consequences. (Which keep a lot of us in check tbqh) dantoml/970279357678804994?s=21
  23. …in reply to @catehstn
    The manipulative guys online either 1) don’t do this (as blatantly) irl or 2) are the ones that women warn each other about. “Yeah he’s cute but he’s bad news”
  24. …in reply to @catehstn
    This freedom from social consequences also makes relationships with people met online more disposible. There’s nothing that ties you together, and no one to judge you if - completely hypothetical example - you end things with a super weird text message at 830 one Monday morning.
  25. …in reply to @catehstn
    But it also makes it much easier to go out with someone once, never give them your real name, and never speak to them again for no other reason than it was “meh” and you have better things to do. No need to feel awkward because you will never run into them again.

    josebiro Yeah? I was thinking LEGO worlds!
  226. As part of my prep for this talk I have read (or skimmed) an inordinate amount of writing on management, and I keep finding myself with the reaction "sure, but how does this work in practise?"

    I sourced these articles from a prominent newsletter about tech leadership. Nearly 84% of these articles were from men. How do I know this? I have a spreadsheet. And a pie chart.

    (Usual caveat of gender is not binary and an imperfect thing to guess and track. Also: diversity is more than gender. Not possible to track that, but my observation is overwhelmingly white.)

    I had to make my slides myself this time so I am trying a new aesthetic of blank slides and graphs quantifying the unquantifiable. I will add some raccoon gifs to round things out I think. Also a short David Bowie video.

    If you speak a second language noone will ever know you are British 😎
  255. …in reply to @catehstn
    Other ways to seem less British: - don't be a raging racist - try not to colonize places - eat "ethnic" food and call these foods by their proper names - directly ask for what you want - have no opinion about the weather - drink poorly made tea without visible signs of distress

  271. I was super burnt out when I left the conglomerate - mainly from trying to be a dev whilst female in the environment that fostered *that* memo. What helped: time off (lucky was able to take it), reconnecting with programming, finding community and seeing that I could be valued. jesslynnrose/978590454840086529

  287. The shitty thing about harassment within a community you are part of is that you don’t know who is okay with it because they are okay with it, and who is okay with it because they don’t know.
  288. …in reply to @catehstn
    This is something that has created a distance for me from the iOS community for the past couple of years. I still get much more anxious at iOS events. And sometimes I find myself in the situation where I need to ask the question and find out what lines people draw.
  289. …in reply to @catehstn
    Mostly I’ve found people just didn’t know which... given some of the details that happened I am very grateful for. But every so often I find out people who I used to respect are just okay with it. For me this is the worst thing of all.
