      1. I got a review at work recently, and I think it was the first review I have ever got that didn't contain gendered remarks.

      Realizing that gave me so many FEELS about the way that women are treated in tech and how leadership enables and normalizes that.

    Managers: you can send reviews back that contain gendered or racial remarks and you know what? YOU SHOULD.

      When you allow those comments in reviews, or think they don't matter, you normalize them throughout and let them affect promotion/salary.

        And if that seems like a lot of work for little gain think about how fucking depressing it is to see a bunch of those comments every review.

          And how that might make reviews even more stressful, and the feedback even harder to process.

            And what it would mean to one time look at feedback and not wonder what people would have said about your work if you weren't /other/.
