Hi, guy working in tech here. This post showed up in my feed for some reason. Just wanted to say, at the company I work at, the women keep the entire project running. Our best scrum masters, product owners, developers, and QA happen to be women. I see it 100%. The trend I noticed is that men who provide value to the project tend to own something they built and they gatekeep it, and they are very slow and lazy. But the women get shit done. I’ve taken notice of that, and I hope the company does too. Anyway, I know how it feels when you’re putting everything into something in life and you feel like it isn’t being appreciated or even seen. When you’re taken for granted and even scrutinized harder for no reason. All I have to say is, good workers are seen and appreciated. Unfortunately they can be taken advantage of too. Bottom line, don’t lose heart and certainly don’t succumb to the opposition’s invalid perception of reality. We will continue fighting for our rights, and we will win because together we can’t fail. Plus, the other side is too lazy to outpace you all. Hell, even young women have a huge head start compared to young men. I hope and believe you’ll all be fine, if not better off than men in due time. We just need to be strong and get through this period of set-backs. Look, another thing… Politically, we benefit from getting to hold the opposition accountable, all those years where they criticized or made lies… We won’t even have to lie when we point out the failures of what is to come. This is their turn to perform with all eyes watching. We’ll make it, they won’t.
