I just had the most teeth grinding epiphany.
For years now I've had enough obscure and deep tech knowledge that I've been (kinda unconsciously) simplifying and dumbing down what I talk about...just to look like I know what I'm talking about.
Like...I carry a flipper zero not because I respect or use it but because guys recognize it and I can get a little respect.
No matter how I communicate with tech guys, even above their level, they assume I know little. This doesn't help.
I can't win 😭🫠

Hence the term "techbro". Misogynists will misogynize, tech or no tech.
@ClaraListensprechen4 Sure, and I think it's larger than that. It happens with loads of guys who would passionately state that they are not techbros. Perfectly nice guys. Even guys that everyone around me will go out of my way to tell me he's a nice guy, a good guy.
It happens with all of them. It's their birthright to know about tech and for me to not.
@LaserMistress
Well, in my view, any guy who does that is automatically not a nice guy, perfect or otherwise. Just my 2¢.
