Thank you and thank you very much for sharing. I personally find it invaluable to hear narratives- good, bad, indifferent- from women and wish more of the storytelling in tech land was in a woman's voice/from that perspective. When the girls were little and I would get to spend time reading to them, when we were reading stories with a male protangonist I always changed the pronouns to female. It made it a different story (at least for me!). We are all human, but we are all uniquely human, and more stories from different voices and perspectives will create more opportunities and resonance for all. In terms of the specifics- agree completely that creating a psychic boogeyman serves no one's interest. My likely not-achieved goal was just to point the mom to areas where it seemed a mom's perspective could be usefully informed. Especially being able to coach with concrete examples around exactly the scenario you describe- interesting work but difficult/problematic culture. How to navigate? In any event, cheers and thank you again.
