                It's not like I'm stupid (I think), or lazy, or an asshole... it's that people give me the benefit of the doubt. All of the time. Everywhere

              This is something you have to absolutely battle for in this industry when you're anybody that's not a white dude. It's fucked.

            Truth is, it's weird that I can say that every woman I've ever worked w/ in this industry is amazing. Tons of "meh" dudes (not recently ❤️)

          That speaks LOUDLY to the fact that mediocrity is a career killer for women in tech.

        We expect dudes that aren't amazing. It's just fine. It should be expected that everybody can't be amazing. I'm certainly not on that level.

      Anyway, I'll be more satisfied when I can say "Sure, I worked with ___. She was OK. I'd probably work with her again." like I do with dudes.
