Prefect to train veterans for IT jobs. There was a non-profit in DC setup to train veterans for IT jobs, which I was going to be a volunteer teacher, but gave up as the traffic was too dangerous to bike. I was a volunteer computer teacher for another non-profit until I couldn't endured the racism and sexism in tech by women anymore. One could barely know how to use MS Office. I was teaching MS Office for over 4 years prior to her joining the non-profit in 2017(?), a former EE adjunct Prof. and one of the engineers that built the PC in the 1990s. But nevertheless, she believed I didn't know how to use MS Office b/c a white male guardian of a student, that I requested to drop from class as she was doing poorly, said so.
Again, the gaslighting of "women are not wired to understand tech", promulgated by the likes of Lar ry Summers, then a Harvard President, will continue to re-enforce such notion. Additionally, erasing women's contribution to STEM such as Marie Curie, Ada Lovelace, etc, to further enforced such notion. In addition to ousted women that excelled in STEM jobs such as done to me when I was a Patent Examiner. Then conducted a smear campaign to justify their action; as a way to eliminate women representation in tech. To ensure young girls won't go into STEM, where STEM is the future. As such, to ensure women remained a 2nd class citizen. Obviously, the overturned of Roe v. Wade is just another manifestation of the patriarchy.
The Director who wrongfully terminated me in a haste of 2 days didn't know what a P4 (Pentium 4) was. The whole Electrical Art dept was still using P4 Desktop in 2011. I kid you not.
So today, there is still no women, Bl ack or His panics representation in tech.
I've been fighting for inclusion since the 1980s, when I was an EE major as there were at least 2 EE Professors told me women are not wired to understand tech, and I should change my major.
My direct manager, prior job was a salesman, set me up to be terminated since the Training academy after he learned I had an apodictic first patent case, that was known to then Undersecretary. He putted COPA cases that's been around for over 10 years b/c no one could do them, such as a patent that breaks Quantum Mechanic law(s), in a new hired probationary employee's docket to ensure my eventual termination. While the Director threatened if I didn't meet the 3 cases per biweek, I will be terminated. I did as I am a former Applied Physics researcher, an engineer that built the computer in the 1990s and a former EE adjunct Prof. But I was still terminated in a haste of 2 days citing poor technical knowledge and low performance when my Productivity was at 103.89-119.81.
After I joined his group, I learned why. The whole group was predominantly white males, with only one woman who was remote work.
While sister unit was predominately people of color and only one woman.
This would never happened if I am a white male.
Trump is a tool to further the patriarchy and white supremacy causes, just as Supreme Court justice Amy Coney Barrett and all other Republican appointed Justices, with possibly the exception of Roberts.
How the Federalist Society became the de facto selector of Republican Supreme Court justices. https://slate.com/news-and-...
During last year’s campaign, Donald Trump offered an unprecedented guarantee regarding any potential Supreme Court nomination. The Republican nominee promised that, if he were elected president, his judicial nominees would “all [be] picked by the Federalist Society.” Trump likewise acknowledged he had turned to the “Federalist people” and the Heritage Foundation to assemble a list of 21 potential Supreme Court nominees. Shortly after becoming president-elect, he met with the society’s executive vice president, Leonard Leo, to discuss the evaluation process for selecting a nominee to fill the seat that belonged to Antonin Scalia. On Tuesday, President Trump is expected to announce in a prime-time televised event which judge on the Federalist Society’s list is his Supreme Court pick.

"If I am a white or an Asian male, I would've been one of the Silicon Valley…" — Good Will Hunting | Cassandra http://disq.us/p/2sltntw
If I am a white or an Asian male, I would've been one of the Silicon Valley billionaires. and could easily buy one of these. As a woman, I've make into a public enemy #1, from the Silicon Valley to NoVa and treated like Emmett Till, where lies were instigated by Asian Operatives as soon as they arrived in America via H1B in the 1990s.
We, women, Bl ack and Hispanic don't have a future. Tokens are what it is (like those women supporting Trump), to make us believed that we can made it based on merit (think people behind Trump's 3 Supreme Court Justices).
I've worked 3 jobs every summer since High School so I could get out of working a minimum/slave wage the rest of my life; thinking that if I am one of the few people that have the skills to do the job ...
Kids/people of color committing crimes, their community/elders don't see a future. You are the fastest runner but you are not allow to win. We are conditioned to work a slave wage the rest of our lives. They are certainly wiser then me. No matter what my achievements are, I ended up in the same place for women of color, Bl ack and His panic: treated as a sterotype-people-of-color and is at the verge of going homeless.
My father make sure to keep a distance from the Asian community so that we are not affect by a hopeless life, that lead the bitter, angry, etc.
I learned not just guarding against white supremist b/c we people of color knew that companies only interested in meeting the Affirmative Action quota (some companies offer incentives to hiring managers to hire minorities). Silicon Valley/Tech rather hired H1B indenture servants (think Elon Musk told Twitter employees to leave if refused to worked 24/7) that couldn't tell a toaster from a computer, then hired American women, Bl acks or His panics.
