Misogynistic bullshit women put up with in tech

• dybber 11y ago
  This is really horrible and should get more attention. For those who don't want to go through the whole thread, here is just a few I have picked out. "Credit going to the men surrounding a project instead of the woman spearheading it." "Conversely, giving a woman all the credit when someone needs to take the fall for a mistake." "when requesting a promotion & using a male counterpart as an example, was told "oh don't worry about him"" "presentations and research I compiled literally stolen and presented c level without notifying me" "being told to take notes in a meeting that was about my team’s project, for which I was the lead developer." "being made to do marketing when i was hired as the senior software dev & project manager" "no matter what, I am always taken as someone who has just signed up on Codecademy. Even at conferences where I am a speaker." "being asked at meet ups if I am lost, if I'm /really/ there for the meet up. Even when I'm the speaker for the night."
