You (hopefully) already know not to mansplain. Now please stop the hepeating.
TweetShareShare It should not be a surprise to anyone that women in tech face a myriad of challenges today. Even though 75% of young girls show interest in STEM, only 0.4% of college women major in computer science. We start 17% of companies but only receive 2% of funding. We are systematically passed over for promotions.
2. No more barstools for panelists at events: Women cannot sit in them. Our crotch shows, our skirts ride up. We can’t shift around for fear of flashing the entire audience. By choosing barstools for events or beanbag chairs for office furniture, men are assuming that if it works for them it works for everyone . Work on fighting this unintended bias by choosing normal chairs for panelists and lounge chairs for office hangout spots.
5. It’s okay to use the word “GUYS”. You don’t have to clarify with “GIRLS” or “GALS” when talking to women: Why are you specifying my gender anyway? Calling women “girls” in the workplace sounds like Don Draper addressing Peggy in Season 1 of Mad Men. It makes women into children and it diminishes their status as equals. Similarly I’m not your “work wife” or your “work girlfriend.
8. When you see a woman in a big shot role, don’t act like you just saw a talking dog: I’m not sure why every time I speak at an event they have trouble attaching the microphone to my dress. People always seem shocked that I’m not a man in our first meeting and quite often men try to shake my male employee’s hand first because they assume he’s my boss. Also, I’m not sure why men hug me and then shake the hands of my male colleagues. It’s 2018. Women run shit. Young women run shit.
