"There’s too much on the line for us to leave out half the population. Because women want access to capital that we’ve been lacking for so long. And if I leave, that’s one less woman to say gm when the next woman finds her way here." Yes yes yes. So glad you wrote this piece. Lots to unpack here!

I've been quiet on the scarcity of "women in crypto" for... reasons...lol. But I'm a long-time feminist. If I ever write on this topic I'll point to the elephant in the room, which is the structural factors. I once founded a "Crones of Web3" group but had no support to maintain it. https://twitter.com/web3crones

Well the name is hilarious! And I completely understand. I drift between wanting to be that champion to just wanting to be. And not to have to rep a whole gender cuz issa a lot sometimes. lol

We started this a few months back. The irony is the women are all so busy so its hard for them to have time to engage as much as they wish to! I am quite proud of my dirty dancing analogy for what it feels like to be a genx women in the space...https://tinyurl.com/mrx4famh

Love the analogy! And the initiative! And I do think there’s more women here in this space than we realize. Just sometimes lurking. In the corner.

Agree that there are likely more women (including GenX) in web3 than we realize. Convos like this can help them feel welcome. The discussion on the time crunch brought to mind this excellent piece by @enicole. Her brilliant writing made a big difference for me. https://enidavis.medium.com/re-valuing-dce6cb25c3be

Indeed the community we have started is to have these conversations, again not 'hand wringing' but future focused around how we create change given the constraints (such as time) which are not going anywhere. Great to chew the fat with you guys @nounishprof. And thanks for the feedback on my deck. Are you both FT web3?

I've been all-in web3 for two years, and plan to continue working in web3 until I retire. I work as a senior editor for a small business that builds community media hubs for DAOs/DeFi clients.

Could have just checked your bio 🤦‍♀️ . Went there and fell into your re-post of @adrienne's article (saved for later) & the scenius thing which I'd seen but not followed the thread. I'm glad I now have a word to describe it, I'd used 'Renaissance town square' or similar previously. I think its FC's niche.
