I figure since we're back on Computer Xiaojies (or "booth babes"), that if we can't have a fair world in which women never fear the fine line of admiration vs. objectification, then I'll give a little somethin' to the other team. I'd prefer that we objectify nobody, but as long as the playing field is not fair, I don't see why I would need to play fair. My friend Steven and I are fighting over bottom row, second guy from the right. I guess it depends on which side of the Strait he's on. Har har. See what I did there? From here - no, I don't subscribe. Blame Steven. |
In the spirit of my continued interest (and hopefully yours) on the topic of women in tech, here are two more things worth reading:
Klaus on "Booth Babes" (thanks for the quote shout-out, Klaus - glad someone cares about this issue and is approaching it honestly without calling women who are concerned about it bitter harridans or whatever)
And Slate talking to Genevieve Bell on women in tech.
