I used to think I could "accomplish" my way to not being credential checked, or assumed not technical. But that will never happen. So I brush dudes back.
Credential checking is exhausting, and can be avoided with one simple question: "How much do you know about [X]?"

I don't understand how tech companies pay so much for their employees but then don't give people the space to actually work effectively.

there is plenty of evidence that for *decades* women have been systematically removed and erased from tech.
if you aren't seeing us (in the workforce, in job applications, etc). maybe ask yourself why instead of blaming the women.

This is how you leverage privilege for good. You speak up. You're mindful that the consequences of speaking up are not as grave as they are for people with less privilege. You make other equally privileged peers uncomfortable. This all may sound unpleasant. The work sometimes is.
