Okay, I’ll finish out the week with an article from the
Canadian publication Maclean’s in which the writer lays out why
he’ll no longer speak on all-male panels.
Scott Gilmore’s piece was published before the UN
announced its conference
on gender equality that was not to include women, and before the Grace
Hopper Celebration, where the CEO of Microsoft told women in tech that they’ll
get their monetary
rewards by not asking for raises, and the all-male panel of tech company
executives thought they’d simplify the process of discussing the
systemic cultural failures within their organizations by not actually discussing
them.
Clearly no one from the UN or any technology corporation
read the piece, but they should. It’s not too late.
And if they are confused in any way about his point, I’m
sure Gilmore would be happy to discuss it with them. Man to man.
