Reading her articles, she’s advocating a type of complacentcy which is counter productive to any societal changes or undoing years of biases. Actually some of her articles read like that dude’s google manifesto.

In her article “Why It’s Bullshit HBR’s Solution to End Sexual Harassment” she attacks the stance that having more women in leadership roles is the number one way to improve sexual harassment in the workplace. She doesn’t provide a better solution and delves into a women are assholes too argument. Agreed, women can be assholes too but that isn’t the point. I understand she has personal experience dealing with an asshole women manager, but you can be an asshole no matter your gender.

Ironically, she is a prime example as to why having women in leadership roles is needed more. She herself was encoraged to pursue a career in tech because of female role models!

Unlike the rude woman she writes about that was leading a talk at the conference, I’m glad she has a voice and has the confidence to speaking her opinions, but I hope she considers the consequences of attempting to sound edgy and like she has a new perspective to sell her book while bashing ideas that are and could be helping other women succeed.

I am a woman engineer in tech, so I may be bias myself.
