What strategies do you wonderful women use in meetings when, after you say something that's not met well or is misunderstood by a man, is repeated by a different man and then man one agrees, thinks it's a great idea, etc.? This happens at least a few times a month. I work in bro-centric web3 and often find myself in meetings where I'm the only woman. I know this sadly isn't a unique phenomenon, just looking for snappy or assertive ways to appropriately call it out in the moment.

I am bold and I say “I just said said that.” 😂

Same. My go to is “right. That’s what I just said.”

I mention it after like they did me a favor “hey, thank you for [reiterating my point] during the meeting, it didn’t seem to land when I brought it up and I’m glad you doubled back.” Men can be oblivious that it’s an issue and this approach avoids male defensiveness while identifying the issue/reclaiming credit. YMMV but I’m lucky to work with oblivious men that want to be allies.

I struggle with this. Of course if it wasn’t intentional and they are good guys who want to be allies, I don’t want to approach in a way that will put them off, but at the same time, I don’t think I have the patience at this point to teach grown adults how to be decent people. Ugh.

Dealing with sexism is effing exhausting. I know you all get it. Just venting.

A2 and A3’s approaches are great and I would pick whichever one feels more natural or doable to you. Also works really well if you can recruit an ally (man or woman) to point it out for you, but I know that’s not always an option if you don’t have a friend or supporter like that

Anyone know of any great articles or advice for building a multi-sided platform at the beginning of that platform’s life?

Both strategic and tactical resources appreciated!

Hi All,

I’m filling out my background check for my Deloitte offer. Is the professional career start date the date I started my job after college or literally the date I had my first job (if it’s in the 25 years Deloitte asks about)?

My security clearance asks for 10 years but nothing before 18, and it seems weird if Deloitte wants to know high school jobs.

Any help would be appreciated!

so every single major dip the last 4 months have been magnified by the use of leverage. If btc drops “naturally” by 5%, but liquidations are in the billions (which they have been), then that 5% drop turns into 15%. Over leveraged apes are literally screwing it up for all of us more than just themselves. Frustrating but also somewhat positive news that onchain analytics, fundamentals, and general TA are still in play. We’ll see what happens because I don’t think these levered traders will stop
