I think the problem I have with your comments is that you haven't put yourself in her shoes. You've simply related how you see things and drawn your conclusion

I think the problem I have with your comments is that you haven't put yourself in her shoes. You've simply related how you see things and drawn your conclusion from that alone. Her point was that women engineers seem to have a hard time at GDC -- so yeah, as a male engineer, it's not shocking that things seemed fine to you. She took the time to put up a sincere blog post about her experience; she's probably not doing it to be contrary or to troll. The least any of us can do is to factor in her perspective.
- mattmaroon 14y agoWell, her point was that she felt more uncomfortable at GDC than other conventions because there are female employees. I put myself in her shoes as much as I can, but I just can't imagine why GDC having female employees working in booths in biz dev is a bad thing for other females. I don't think she's trolling either but it's just a strange sentiment.
- thedufer 14y agoBut his point is that the problem she's writing about (people assuming she's non-technical) is true of both male and female devs, because there are so many non-technical people of both genders. Him being right doesn't make her "contrary or [a] troll".
