Hi Yvi! Hope you came, and I hope you found it interesting. While unfortunately nothing was streamed from the event, everything got recorded in quite a good quality, as I heard. And after refining the captured material, it will be made available.

And, hi Mary. Thank you for the questions, we actually talked a bit or even more about each one of them. Except the first one, maybe. I am not sure if that point came out so clear.

However, even though it was a small and politicized community-driven conference there were few people who made noise, and even sexist noise. We also got critizised for our personal-empirical approach. I am thinking of maybe writing up an addendum. Maybe someone from the panel wants to join in.

What I’d want you to discuss would depend on how 101 you want to be. Assuming this is a 101/outreach kind of thing:

1. if gender shouldn’t matter in many situations, why aren’t we just behaving as if gender doesn’t exist?

2. what can geeks do to help geek feminism?

3. how is geek feminism helping geekdom?

It would be great to have some mention/attention to intersectionality too.

I might even be there :) Not sure yet, because the drive is over two hours, but I’d love to go one of the three days and watch the panel in person :)
