As a woman into tech I’ll chime in. We seem to have a mild case of ignorant as shit. My friends are all completely blind to tech and piracy. Now I don’t blame them because they’ve been taught by capitalist culture to care about pointless things since birth, but god does it hurt sometimes and make me want to claw my eyes out. Patience and education will solve the gap.

What is even more painful is seeing friends glued to TikTok on their phones all day when they have STEM degrees. I didn't grow up in a typical household, so I have a hard time relating to other women, but I don't get it either. Do your friends with kids seem to be this way more than those without?
