What's fruitless? There's an overlap in articles like this. There's many things I relate to and some thing I don't. For instance, in the piece she talks about micro aggressions: Being spoken over or interrupted at meetings. Sharing an idea that gets no traction, only for a man to share the same idea ten minutes later and be applauded. Being asked to supply lunch at a partner meeting when I am the only woman in the room. Other than the last point (I've never been given access to order lunch for my team, though I have a purchase card, my use of it is regulated to hell and fear mongered), the rest of these points are not only salient but relatable. It's what's driven me mad some days; the only defense I have with people like this is that I got good at finding a way to tell people they exhaust me in the most kind manner possible. If I don't, I'm looked at like an asshole regardless of what led up to the event. What she says about promotions is the same. On paper, I'm a very successful and young-for-my-level engineer. I've also never been promoted. I've driven multiple operating system transitions across multiple companies, I've led the way with higher coding standards, focuses on developer experience that had discernable improvement in productivity and happiness. Yet, not a single promotion. I can go on, but my point is, if you pay attention to what she's saying and you solve the things women are talking about then the impact you'll feel is going to be pretty universal.
