Olivia Messer ?
For this months thats what she said, were discussing being a token woman and positive discrimination.
Anouk:As a woman working in tech, its inevitable you benefit from your gender sometimes.
Cara:I think its a difficult question to quantify with a straight, simple answer.
Which is why diversity schemes, which are relatively new, are needed.
Cara:Yeah, Id also be fine with it.
But it would still feel weird for sure.
Georgina: Have either of you ever felt uncomfortably favored bc of your gender?
Like you didnt feel it was deserved, or you felt guilty?
Like: lets ask Anouk, she has a vagina.
if you feel like youre being exploited cos of your gender, fuck that.
if you feel youre being valued for your gender, thats great.

Dont be afraid to take huge risks.
The more scared you are, the more interesting the project probably is.
They are the absolute worst.
The snot-wiping scum of the earth.
They host gender reveal parties.
They write about topics that are utterly disgusting,like this soccer mom discussing her kids boogers.
Theymake chartsto show why working mothers are the Antichrist.
But it might be that self-given label, mommy blogger, that is most worrisome.
Is it that your private life is made public, and profitable?
Or the industrialization and exploitation of children who are building online presences without their knowledge or consent?
Having said that, we do love and support mothers, stay-at-homeandworking.
Some of us (mainly Gigi) drool over babies, too.
And as tech writers, we believe its important to cover this demographic.
Like when wewrote about startup Elvie, which developed a tubeless breast pump women can fit in their bras.
Or when we covered thissmart baby crib.
But dont expect us to use the word mommy ever.
Mum tech makes as almost equally uncomfortable.
Instead, we came up with an alternative: milftech.
Gadgets for women who fuck and who just happened to have given birth.
Like thispelvic floor trainer, also by Elvie.
Or tech for pregnant women, like thiswearable pregnancy tracker by Bloomlife.
