Hear me out: Let's convince women that science and technology are peak femininity. They fix the planet, cure diseases, and colonize Mars while we men bravely master the existential art of doing absolutely nothing. We'll even tell them that's equality. π
Meritocracy is just the PR spin for, "I was in the right place at the right time... with the right inheritance."
Elon Musk loves to talk about meritocracy. Sure, bro, merit is getting quality education and startup cash from your rich dad's emerald mine. Meanwhile, the rest of us are out here trying to merit our way to affording eggs.
Elon Musk says that America should be a meritocracy but if America was a true Meritocracy he'd never have been a billionaire.
Conspiracy theory: Women invented patriarchy so men would fight wars and hunt food. Now that Uber Eats exists, they're dismantling it for Phase 2: the Post-Patriarchy Era. Long game, ladies. Respect.

You can tweet #BlackLivesMatter while eating at McDonaldβs, a company that underpays workers of all races.
You can post a rainbow logo, but it doesnβt feed a single homeless LGBTQIA+ person.

Luigi Mangione might not have been "right," but was he more "wrong" than a CEO who hides behind legality? I doubt it.
Unpopular opinion:
I know this might offend some of you. But if you're the type of girl who has no female friends and only male friends because women are drama or something. There's something deeply flawed with you. Why are you looking for male validation, sister?
I think the people who are averse to AI and think they're better than those of us who use AI tools to get results quicker will just get left behind. Your moral superiority is going to be the death of you.
Being a complete and utter 42,069% idiot is not just a requirement but the golden standard for becoming a tech entrepreneur. It's like the more brain cells you donate to the void, the higher your chances of success!
I really like job listings that mention their interview includes a coding challenge. It's like a prewritten breakup text that saves us both the trouble of pretending this could ever work. Besides, I'm already in a committed relationship with Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V.
