Hehe, that's such a macho way of thinking.

I have a little tingling sensation that we could use more women in positions of power in tech.

We might benefit from slightly different ways of thinking about working with fellow human beings.

(In case that wasn't clear, I agree with your point. I'm just a bit sad about the language and mindset you're describing!)



You think women don't do shit tests?

If you look up the origin of the phrase "shit test", you will find a lot of irony in this statement :)


Yes, I knew about it when I wrote the comment. I guess men are just better at this!


The majority of references I could find were on Urban Dictionary and other ‘how to not be a beta’ type sites. Hardly reputable sources or places that stand up for women.
