Debugging the Gender Gap & Microaggressions in Tech

gistfile1.txt

How are your experiences here at Turing similar or different than those shared in the documentary?
  I feel that because of the conversations here at Turing, we won't see as much of outwardly aggression, sexism, and condescending
  behavior. I personally haven't experienced sexism, or aggression. I feel that the only thing I have experienced is an instructor 
  feeling the need to tell me that I may have a place in the tech world, but not as a developer. Which of course as a teacher/student
  relationship that struck me as not the "Truing Philosophy". Especially after watching the video on Debugging the Gender Gap. 
  
What role do you play in creating a more inclusive environment in your cohort and the larger community at Turing?
  I have made strong connections in my cohort, I am the includer in our group. They feel comfortable to talk to me
  about their frustrations, and their wins. That goes for Turing in general. I have made several connections with upper-mods 
  and feel that I am appreciated for my positivity. 
  
Brainstorm a specific situation(s) you’ve either witnessed or heard of happening at Turing that might be similar 
to the stories shared in the movie. What could’ve someone witnessing the instance done differently to positively 
impact the outcome of situation?
  I have heard of a situation where 3 men were having a conversation, a woman in the same cohort overheard the conversation 
  and felt very violated by their content. 
  I feel that if it was me, I would have confronted the situation head on and explained that I will do not want to hear conversations
  like that. This would have stopped the conversation and hopefully made it so a conversation with inappropriate content would not
  happen again.
