hi! Not trying intrude on the female centric space, just have a question. How can organizations in web3 do better to avoid the āboys clubā nature of tradfi and fintech leadership? Is it as bad as it seems to me as a casual observer? Do you appreciate those who actively advocate for more women in web3 ?

It is as bad, if not worse. When I was Head of Product at a consulting firm, Iād intro myself as that at networking events and 1min later the guy Iām speaking to would ask if Iām someoneās girlfriend or secretary. I get mansplained on how to do my own job by clients.

Constantly feel like Iām getting ātestedā to see if I actually know what Iām talking about. 15min into deep technical convos, lots of guys will be like āwoah ok a chick who knows what sheās talking about wow!ā Get pushed to the side a lot in all-male teams, not invited to hangs or excluded from gcās

How to fix it? Give women more space to be heard. If you notice someone cutting them off, or taking their idea theyāve already said, repackaging it & then getting the credit - correct who deserves the credit. See someone getting a job bc heās someoneās bro but thereās a great female candidate? Say something

It isnāt going to be fixed if half the population continues to think āitās not my problem or my place to step in and say somethingā Yes it is!!! Itās unfortunate but most men need to hear it from other men, when women complain itās seen as āover reactingā āreading into thingsā āunimportantā

Thx for sharing. Iām sorry that this experience is so universal, pretty big bummer. Iām sad to say my partner has shared this experience as well and itās so infuriating bc she didnāt want to āstir the potā by saying anything and when she did, leadership and HR were dismissive
