In reply to Mary from London.

Exactly this. I agree 100% with you Mary.

It’s not about woke tokenism blabla, Peter. It’s about setting a record straight. It’s about trying to counter balance the wrong that is in fact still a major problem in Tech. Women aren’t little kids that want to play developer or designer along with the ‘big guys’. We are however often being treated like that. Not only by a few individuals but far too often by toxic masculine culture.

And yes there are many men only teams that aren’t necessarily the best qualified persons for the job, but somehow got assumed they are. Nobody in those teams bothers to ask questions about that.

So thank you Team WordPress for providing women with this opportunity.
