I have been talking to a lot of people about this in Singapore - unconscious bias against women in the workplace, and how meritocracy has been covering up the existence of these biases. I am feeling very passionate about this, and I'm so glad that women are speaking up about this and gaining traction in the Bay Area. Let's try and bring this movement to Singapore as well!
To start off, make sure you read Susan Fowler's reflections and experience with sexism at Uber (it's in the link below), and the rest of the content. This might be the most important thing you'll ever read in your life, so you understand what your unconscious biases are and what your privileges are:
