> I know several extremely competent women in technical roles - like, better than 99% of others in their field regardless of gender. None of them EVER self-refer as "women in tech", or "women who code".
FWIW, I know some excellent engineers, technologists, professors, etc. who are women, and who also participate in programs to address sexism.
We have a long history of really stupid and unjust sexism, and that's a lot to dig out of. Different people tackle that different ways.
Sometimes I hear of approaches that I don't understand. If I tried to make snap judgments of them, I'd hope I'd usually be right, but I suspect I'd often be wrong.
In general, I think I'm best off focusing on support of things that seem positive.
