Women are stingy and it’s killing our professional lives

By Rebecca RachmanyWomen and leadershipLeave a comment

“You have to find the men in tech with daughters,” she said. “The women won’t help you. I hate to say it, but it’s true.” My company is all about creating better media for girls (when I say “better”, I mean better than Barbie and the Power Puff Girls.). You’d think women, in particular, moms,…

By Rebecca RachmanyWomen and leadershipLeave a comment

“What bothers me is that a woman could never do what he does,” said one of my female CEO friends. “Imagine if a woman manager took a selfie every morning as she was leaving the house,” she added, demonstrating some of the poses that are regularly displayed on the pages of one of the top…

Women’s Funding and Growing Pains

By adminWomen and leadershipLeave a comment

Women are taking an active role in funding one another’s businesses. This is a major step forward, and yet, the balance is still skewed. Most of the capital is still in the hands of men. For that matter, most of the experience is in the hands of men. At Gangly Sister, we’ve had positive experience with…

By Rebecca RachmanyWomen and leadershipLeave a comment

As Women’s History Month rolls to a close, we’ve been thinking about what it takes to be a woman who makes history. As we are involved in making media to empower girls, it’s an important question. What does it mean to empower someone? What are the values and attributes someone needs to make a difference…

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…

How professional networking is like professional sports

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…

Men in High Tech

Why are there so few men in technology?

By adminWomen and leadershipLeave a comment

We want to thank Yazamiyot and Digital Eve members for contributing their times and opinions to this investigative video. Full transcript below. Why aren’t there more men in high-tech?

Cate Blanchett Speech – Wins Golden Globe Awards 2014

Are Beyonce and the Golden Globe awards “overly feminist”?

By Rebecca RachmanyWomen and leadershipLeave a comment

Can you believe we are still talking about this in 2014? I want to comment on the Golden Globes awards, because there’s something striking about feminism today. It’s finally feminine. In some ways, growing up, many of us were trained to be man-like, in order to compete in a man’s world. That wave of feminism…
