I had a few questions at the beginning of this journey; these questions seemed to lead only to more questions — and more excitement.
- How might we raise a generation of egalitarian children, if we ourselves have unconscious biases?
- How might we get men to understand and care about issues of sexual assault and sexism in the workplace?
- How might we make systems more egalitarian, rather than putting the burden on individual women?
- Can gender socialization during childhood be a cause of big adulthood inequalities, proved with research?
- How might we uncover more unconscious biases?
- We don't intend to be sexist
- Why don't we value feminine behaviors (collaboration, empathy) in leadership, our ideas of "giftedness," potential?
- How might we use tech to increase the scalability/objectivity/effectiveness of our solution?
- Why do some people hold onto traditional images of masculinity and femininity?
- How does intersectionality come into play (is the info I have just about white people, rich people, Americans)?
- How is feminism mainstream, yet we still have all these inequities in many different aspects of life?
- How did feminism become mainstream in the first place?
- What are effective approaches of solving problems of unconscious biases? Trainings often don't work, facts don't change people's minds, it's difficult for individual people to monitor themselves. Systematic change?
- How might I start small, and iterate upon my solution as I go?
- Where can I find reliable stats/facts/papers about gender equality?
- How do I find my target audience (all women, high school girls in Bay Area)?
- How much can I (and am I able to) change on a systemic level?
