This article was fun, I like imagining myself with an agent and some awesome Diva dressing room.
However, sorry, but I have to rant a tiny little bit. We need to stop using the "ever try to explain it to your mom" trope. My mother understands what I do at work a whole lot better then my dad. If I was mother, I would clearly understand what you do at work. The very fact of being a mom does not preclude you from high level technical knowledge. In addition, the statement encourages the idea that since only women can be moms, and moms don't understand tech, women don't understand tech. That is what you are implying to all of your readers when you utilize this cliche. It's lazy writing, and I would request that you try harder to overcome that initial pull of the go-to stereotypes and cliches that paint women in a non-technical light. Thank you. |
