like @alicegoldfuss points out, "masculine"-coded interests & preferences are seen as serious vs pink & flowery are seen as frivolous. i hope people can see how that is also sexist? https://twitter.com/alicegoldfuss/status/941074873438257152

also, male-coded interests are seen as neutral. i had an art teacher who had us drawing trucks/trains & when i asked for a different assignment, he asked what i wanted to draw. when i said jane austen book covers he said he couldn't assign the class something so gender specific

i hope @Code_LikeAGirl thinks hard about if giving a platform to a man who'd like to exclude femininity from cs education is really the message they'd like to convey
