“What saddens me most when we call people out on these issues is that inevitably we will frighten some women away from speaking or doing things to raise their profile.”

I’m likely in the minority, but all this nonsense is motivating me to do more to raise my profile in the industry and seek out opportunities to give talks on design & development. Not because I want to be on the receiving end of misogynistic vitriol, but because I know I have a thick enough skin to deal with it, and I want to do my part to fight back and help create an environment where women don’t have to have a thick skin to speak up.
