FR Society 35: French Kiss

When is it appropriate to greet a business woman with a kiss instead of a handshake?

By Rebecca RachmanyWomen and feminismLeave a comment

When is it appropriate to greet a business woman with a kiss instead of a handshake? I’m tempted to say “always.” Wednesday I set up a meeting with a potential business partner who I’d met once before at a networking venue. When he saw me, he got up, gave me an air-kiss on the cheek…

Stop whining about inequality

By Rebecca RachmanyWomen and leadershipLeave a comment

Why women need to stop complaining about the sexist male culture in tech. The male-dominated tech culture is under heavy fire from women who are justifiably fed up with the harassment, subtle jabs, discounting of their ideas, and just generally chauvinistic treatment in the tech world. But it’s time to just shut up. I don’t…

What to do about emotional outbursts in the office

By Rebecca RachmanyWomen and leadershipLeave a comment

I am disgusted at the attacks on women who have “emotional outbursts” at the office. I’ve had women cry in my office. Heck, I’ve cried in my office. I’ve never had a woman shout at me in a professional situation. Why is it OK to have an emotional outburst when that emotion is “anger” but…

By Rebecca RachmanyWomen and leadershipLeave a comment

What’s wrong with smart girls?

By Rebecca RachmanyWomen and feminism2 Comments

When I first heard about the missing Nigerian girls from the Chibok Government Girls Secondary School, I didn’t give it much attention. At Gangly Sister we emphasize the positive. We do that as a matter of philosophy, and of fear, to be perfectly honest. Our philosophy is to emphasize what is good and right. We…

How professional networking is like professional sports

By Rebecca RachmanyWomen and leadership1 Comment

Any professional athlete or trained soldier knows that the purpose of rigorous training is to make sure that at that critical moment, you act without thinking. Could the same be true for professional networking? If you have ever felt you aren’t a great networker, or if you want to improve your networking skills, this blog post…

Do Gangly Sisters have values?

By Rebecca RachmanyGangly SisterLeave a comment

As CEO, a good part of my job to talk about our company values. I don’t do it in a dogmatic or structured way, but you can hear it in almost everything I say. That’s why you never hear anyone at Gangly Sister talking about an exit. None of our values have to do with…

What about the ugly girls?

By Rebecca RachmanyGangly Sister Women and feminismLeave a comment

I get as misty-eyed as the next person watching the Dove Selfie video, but when I stopped and thought about it, I realized it’s only one step up from telling girls they have to be beautiful in the first place. I’m taking a coursera course with Dan Ariely. In the first video, Professor Arieli explains that, as you…

By Rebecca RachmanyGangly Sister1 Comment

Who cares that Disney’s “Frozen” is the top-grossing animated film of all time? Yesterday in The Verge we learned that Disney’s Frozen is the top-grossing animated film of all time. Setting aside the fact that this is a made-up statistic (it’s not adjusted for inflation, and “animated film” is a category invented to have one…

Why are there so few men in technology?
