Jess👾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".
Gina@JessTheUnstill same, happens daily.
Alex@rtnVFRmedia Suffolk UKits completely the opposite here (most staff in the office are female and about 80% from ethnic minority groups), but I work as a solitary IT/telecoms manager for a health and social care company (in an ethnic minority owned business) rather than a tech one. We are however still dependent on the male-dominated tech companies for our vital infrastructure..
Dr. Doro (she/her)@JessTheUnstill Oh yes. I thought I was used to it by now, but I hate it more every time...

@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
Jackie@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.
Bernie Luckily Does It@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.
Jake@JessTheUnstill all the women on my team are super genius electrical engineers from MIT. unfortunately all of them is two.
Keith@JessTheUnstill yep. The company I work for has about 20 software developers, only 4 of whom are women .
Neo@JessTheUnstill often times at work meetings Im the only PoC & trans person in the room 🫣 (not assuming about other peoples neurodiversity since I cant know that)
dr_a@JessTheUnstill i probably have an atypical job, but untill recently most of my team meetings had white guys as a minority.
mbrdev@JessTheUnstill in the last decade that’s been pretty constant for me, recently though I’ve got 1 meeting a week where I’m the only man and it’s amazing to see how much more efficient the meeting is compared to every other meeting I’m involved in!
Tiota Sram@JessTheUnstill in case anyone needs help with the math, I built this a while ago by or remains relevant:
https://cs.wellesley.edu/~pmwh/meritocracy/
Fun fact: in a group of 100 people from around the world, the expected number is white men based on their proportion of the global population is (very roughly): 8.
Another way of saying that: in a room of 10 people, the expected number is white men is *less than 1.*
