Hey men, especially white men in "white collar" jobs, think about just how rare it is for you to be in a meeting where white men aren't at least the plurality, if not the outright majority of the people "in the room".

@JessTheUnstill I saw one on Instagram last night that said, "I work with fewer women than with people named Matt." That's really damning.

For me, it's probably Daniel instead of Matt, but same.

@faithisleaping one funny thing at my work is that we're at either 3 or 4 Jessicas.

@faithisleaping still women are a minority by FAR, but somehow ended up with a plurality of women as jessica

@JessTheUnstill @faithisleaping

There are only a handful of women in my department, and an above average amount of them are trans (myself included)

@burnoutqueen @JessTheUnstill About half the female engineers at my company are trans. I haven't done a full head count in a bit but it's about 50/50.

@burnoutqueen @JessTheUnstill @faithisleaping My current team is 50% women. Then there's one man and one me, so the plurality is women. Come to think of it, it's majority not-white. While I was aware of my teammates' individual ethnicities I hadn't actually thought about it in simple white/not white terms before.

@burnoutqueen @JessTheUnstill @faithisleaping In general the teams I've worked in have been about 30-45% women. I have noticed there seems to be an unwritten "no teams with just one woman" rule here, so the distribution is lumpier than you'd expect. I've just been lucky enough to work on teams that do have women.
