I did. I responded because imo under normal circumstances nobody would be offered this kind of deal. It doesn't make economical sense for the company.
She was given leeway and my guess is because she's a woman among other things. Women do have advantages that men don't.
Women also have disadvantages but that is not my point. I am simply pointing out one area where women have an advantage in a male dominated field. It's a real advantage.
It isn't. Sometimes women are given an advantage, in a way that is completely unfair and only gives a small boost to certain women with certain personality, attractiveness and age characteristics. Men with certain outward characteristics get a least as much of a boost.
I'm saying what's the point of even keeping score when the odds are so stacked against women. Your complaints are entirely anecdotal, meanwhile it's very easy to point at empirical data showing how women are treated poorly.
If you wanna line up your complaints alongside mountains of empirical evidence showing how women are disenfranchised repeatedly feel free, just don't expect people to take you seriously when you call yourself a feminist.
If you actually want to call yourself a legitimate feminist you should spend more time listening and learning. It might make you actually feel silly to complain about how men are treated in tech.
>Your complaints are entirely anecdotal, meanwhile it's very easy to point at empirical data showing how women are treated poorly.
Show me the data for this specific case of horizontal movement in engineering organizations for women and you have an argument that can change my view.

I am listening and learning. Show me your data. <-- that is literally a call for you to prove your points so that I can "listen and learn"
>I'm saying what's the point of even keeping score when the odds are so stacked against women.
Who's keeping score? I'm just bringing up one specific case of unfair treatment. I never tried to turn this into a battle of "which sex is treated more unfairly"
You wanna get educated go educate yourself. I'm frankly pretty disgusted by your posts and don't have the patience to educate somebody who is stubborn and unwilling to consider other perspectives.
