She told me she&#8217;d given up corporate feminism&#8230; but my suspicion is that she&#8217;ll never give up technofeminism (is that even a word? it should be). Most recently she live-tweeted the &#8220;men&#8217;s&#8221; panel at the Grace Hopper Colloquium (storify here:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/storify.com\/catehstn\/ghcmanwatch\">https:\/\/storify.com\/catehstn\/ghcmanwatch<\/a>) which led to the guys organising a second panel where they listened to the women in the room, rather than standing on stage and telling them to, you know, lean in.<\/p>\r\n<p>So here&#8217;s my #ald14 post &#8211; to Cate.
