Free swag idea for Bay Area tech companies: personal portable subway straps, for when BART is too crowded and there are no straps for you to hold on to and you’re too short to hold the pole on the ceiling.

A while ago I came across a website where you could buy a tiny wooden pig as a birthday greeting. And it came with a paper to fold into a tent for it? Also the company was supposedly founded by a ten year old boy? Can’t remember the name or find it anywhere. Help?

In reality, of course, there is no shortage of sexists in the corporate world, but their behaviour, unlike women’s, is not regarded as a problem. They don’t get sent on courses featuring topics like ‘how to listen to women’, ‘resisting the temptation to mansplain’ and ‘why you don’t have to speak if you’ve got nothing to add’. Of course they don’t: no one would offer a course based on such an insulting premise, and no man would agree to attend one. But on reflection, is the premise women’s courses are based on any less insulting? They’re all designed around what women allegedly lack: authority, impact, confidence, presence.
