for anyone in a tech-ish field, look into "i am not a maker"

it is about how part of the false binary of socially constructed gender norms is that men are builders, makers, and doers while women are nurturers, fixers, and maintainers. the aspects of living in a patriarchal society as the normalized hegemony lead to not only the arbitrary assignment of things to masculine or feminine identity, but also the de-emphasis of valuable traits that are assigned to the feminine identity.

as absurd as the findings in this article are, they're actually not at all surprising once you start thinking about what we assign to the genders and how early this hegemonic programming begins. one of the things we have to be doing as we combat these forces in order to address the climate crises is to do more to listen to marginalized voices because this is not the only space or dimension in which completely illogical stances and approaches to the world have been normalized.
