If a man told you he worked with computers, it'd be odd to raise an eyebrow and respond "Are you some kind of computer boy?". The technician treated this woman's work as something special because she was a woman. In other words: A man that works with a computer is still just a man. A woman that works with a computer must be something special, a computer girl.

And bonus points for calling her a girl, which is just a little bit more infantilizing.

Thank you for allowing it! I tried to find an article covering this group, but as I've mentioned, it's been difficult. With ongoing censorship on other platforms, I hoped the webpage as a primary source would be good enough (or even better than a poorly written article full of ads).

Of course!

They claim to follow a decentralized ("starfish") model for organizing. The Learn More button in their About Us section links to a "GSUS Welcome Packet" hosted on Google Slides with more information:

Organizing a movement as such requires online activism but also boots on the ground listening and connecting with their community. Our chapters not only help spread awareness about GSUS but by being involved in community empowerment initiatives or organizing their own.

In order to stay true to decentralization, In order to prevent this movement from being stopped, Or a "Leader" being targeted. We seek to explode into many interconneced nodes. State to State, this interconnected system of collaboration will ensure our basic needs are met before and after the strike.

The presentation doesn't have too much information. A lot of their organization seems to occur over regular Discord meetings, and partnering with other grassroots movements & groups.

So there's clearly lots to be improved, but I respect that it's something. Best of luck to you and your family. I also want change!

Absolutely fair, thank you for mentioning the privacy concerns. A reply on another crosspost brought up something similar.

There hasn't been much protest coverage in the news I'm regularly exposed to - I hoped people might find other resources on the website useful, particularly for organizing their own demonstrations or otherwise staying informed.
