Hello! Let’s brainstorm and send in submissions for how to support women and girls in STEM! I’m excited to hear what others have to say.
We can brainstorm on this post or users can submit their ideas directly here: https://tinyurl.com/5efnd33j
I’d like to hear why women left STEM or why they love STEM: what worked and what didn’t. I found that academia was less friendly to the needs of women compared to industry.
I haven't left my job as a software engineer yet but I'm debating it. I think we need to stop having to call our male co-workers “she/her”... It's distracting and frankly insulting. Especially when you are the only female on the team.
Me too. I can cope with trans coworkers if I'm working from home but seeing them at the office is tough. I don't really hate any of them, they are all neurodivergent in some way and so am I, so we are often on the same wavelength when it comes to problem solving. But when we're face to face in real life and I am forced to pretend to be okay with them cosplaying as my sex and using the same bathroom as me, I can't help but feel like I'm being manipulated and insulted.
