what does attraction have to do with thinking talking climate change is unmanly? also "i am not a maker" is about how to talk about feminism in tech. i was recommending it for other people who might be interested in the theory behind how we combat this in the workplace, not to people who need convincing that you need to listen to women in tech. how you convince people to listen to tech largely has to do with introducing consequences to men who treat women like they only exist as sexual objects for men to behold

attraction should not factor into any of this, ultimately. and in fact, if we want to get further into the weeds, one of the things we need to do, societally, is to make eco-consciousness fun. doing the right thing is sexy. it gives us better beaches to frolic on. it means people age better. it means there's more variety of dance music to shake our asses to. but people are addicted to short term rewards instead of long term benefits
