Did DevTernity just start a hot, new trend in the diversity and inclusion space? — Everyone knows it by now. We don’t have enough women working in the tech industry. As a senior woman in the field, managing a team of men, I see it every day. There are many reasons for this, but none of them is that women are not interested in tech…

What I learned from spending 12 years with a man who believed in traditional gender roles — “You want ME to do the dishes?” he asked, incredulous. “Sure, I cooked dinner for us, didn’t I?” I replied, wondering what was so surprising about my request. I was in my second semester at uni. My new boyfriend — let’s call him Sam — and I had just finished…

The misandry myth is used to scare both men and women away from the discussion about gender equality — The internet is full of “nice” men complaining that women won’t date them even though they’ve treated them really well.

Forcing women to come back to the office seriously impacts their quality of life and employers' ability to find the workers they need — Two days ago, WeWork filed for bankruptcy, and I felt quite a bit of schadenfreude. Why? In 2021, WeWork CEO Sandeep Mathrani was one of the first to publicly vilify remote workers. In the Wall Street Journal, he described people who want to work from home as the least engaged…

Why AI tools are making our world more boring and more biased — When I come across a text that begins with the words “in these complex times” or “in an ever-evolving world,” I immediately move on. 99% of the time, this introduction is followed by AI-generated crap. Have you noticed? AI loves to use more or less vomit-inducing versions of these intros…

Why do we stress women’s and children’s survival in emergencies over men’s? — In the context of the ongoing crisis, there is something I can’t stop thinking about.

Men want you to believe they’re the ones keeping the world afloat, but have you ever wondered what would happen if women refused to do underpaid and free labor? — Red-pill men love to ask the question, “What do you think would happen if there were no men?” The correct answer, according to them, is that everything would collapse, and women would be left helpless. I saw the most outlandish version of the women can’t survive without men mindset on…

Most people believe that feminists are fighting for equal rights for women. We’re not. — The funniest thing I’ve heard anyone say in the last few days was, “I’m not a feminist. I’m a gender equalitarian.” I guess they thought that was a more progressive point of view. It’s interesting how some people — mostly white beneficiaries of this late-stage capitalist hellscape we’ve created —…

Because cars are built for men, women currently have a 17% higher risk of dying from a car crash — For the last 60 years, car manufacturers have been working hard to make cars safer.
