- hownottowrite 12y agoThe down vote is interesting since I actually agree with her primary research. Women should interrupt more. I've said as much when doing reviews myself.
- waqf 12y agoHad I downvoted (I didn't) it would have been because I didn't see any shock in her article, real or feigned. It was clear that the effect she found was the one she was looking for.
- hownottowrite 12y agoI think it was really this statement which made me crinkle my nose. "As a woman in tech who has been called all of these things before, there is some validation in confirming with data that the pattern is real. But as a leader in tech, I’m aghast at how closely under our noses we let this live." Her past research would seem to suggest that this finding was all but assured. But to be fair, that could just be my reading if it. I have a lot of respect for Kieran's work, so that also has something to do with it.
