All the shit I've had to deal with over the past year in this job has taught me one valuable lesson: How poorly the tech industry can at times treat women.

Being ignored, dismissed and spoken down to until you get upset, only to then be gaslit into thinking you're being unreasonable or overly emotional is an experience I wish we didn't have to deal with.

It's not only profoundly sexist, but it actively stifles innovation and people's willingness to speak up about problems.
