Personal facts: I am white, male, not quite 40, and I went to those discussions because I felt they were important and wanted to be part of that discussion so that I could think about my own actions.Out of curiosity, in what way did you think about and change your own actions, as a result of going to the conferences?
My wife's relatives include several children that at the time were mid-high school. As we sat around the table on Turkey Day or Christmas or whatever, different topics would come up, and sometimes questions or discussions are directed at the nephew versus the niece. That is usually based on what my perception of their interests is, not what their interests actually are. That's part of the WIT discussion that I took away, that even peripheral interaction with young women can shape what they think they are capable of, and dismissing them even unintentionally has a lasting impact.
It also changed how I interacted with my female colleagues at work, who even though I know are technical, I am trying to be more present and aware of how my behaviour changes when working with them versus with my few male colleagues.
