One thing I have learned from my wonderful partner is stories like this can be incredibly alienating to women who don&#x27;t fit into them.<p>For example, the &quot;all women get catcalled&quot; - my partner notes that since she never gets catcalled, she must be too ugly.<p>So what about the women who have an entirely different kind of experience? This article is a classic: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@maradydd&#x2F;okay-feminism-its-time-we-had-a-talk-about-empathy-bd6321c66b37" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@maradydd&#x2F;okay-feminism-its-time-we-had-a...</a>

Since the page renders terribly for me, here are all the videos the page links to:<p>I am Tech: Challenges - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=fg_ECYhptDo" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=fg_ECYhptDo</a><p>I am Tech: Love - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=B5EzYG-2fss" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=B5EzYG-2fss</a><p>I am Tech: Advice - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=x3NqI-0u9sA" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=x3NqI-0u9sA</a><p>Hilary Stone @ Mixpanel - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=_STckadkcVQ" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=_STckadkcVQ</a><p>Jenny Finkel @ Mixpanel - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=M-2YaP4UfHY" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=M-2YaP4UfHY</a><p>Liz Clinkenbeard @ Github - <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=a_tVT0dhEMU" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=a_tVT0dhEMU</a>

Really hard to hire women in tech. Whenever I interviewed them, turned out they only studied Liberal Arts in college. That is very unqualified. And for the few ones that studied Physics, Engineering, or Computer Science in College, Google and other major compnies alredy hired to them all. So again, no luck there either.<p>In the end, you really can&#x27;t force women to study something they don&#x27;t like, like Calculus and Physics, the requirements for Computer Science. Afterall, they&#x27;re independent, and they will study whatever they want in college, which is usally Liberal Arts, Teaching, Psychology, or Biology. But never math, or physics.

The page won&#x27;t render properly because Ghostery blocks some Adobe feature as a tracker.

i am still struggling to understand how this is important, and why we should care. men have struggles just the same, this is like reverse sexism.
