Toronto Girl Geek Dinners

The Official Blog of the Toronto Girl Geek Dinners

Wednesday, October 3, 2007

And now we have a sponsor for October's Dinner!

A great big thanks to Joseph Thornley of Thornley Fallis PR and 76design, who has ponied up for 12 female technology students to attend the October 17th event and enjoy the meal at no cost. Spaces are limited, so if you're interested in attending, please sign up on the TGGD wiki ASAP!

And now, a word from our sponsor:
For my daughters’ sake, I’m looking forward to the day when we don’t have to have events to help women overcome systemic discrimination. But until then, I’m a firm believer in the value of events like the GirlGeek Dinners.


See you on the 17th!

    Reading Joe's quote, I was moved to add a quote of my own, found on a friend's blog. She relates the experience suffered by a female friend during an interview for a position:

    "Yesterday, I had lunch with one of the firm's partners and was stunned by some of his comments:

    'This isn't the kind of place for a woman to work a few years and then have another kid.' 'Clients come first. You can't say, I don't get to the office until 9 am because I do daycare drop-off.' 'You should come meet one of the women in the office to hear about the lifestyle challenges.'

    It is worth noting that I never mentioned having a toddler or my need to cater to a child's schedule. He made assumptions about my priorities, childcare arrangements, and commitment."

    Along with Joe, I fervently hope that my daughter never has to put up with such crap, and I believe that by participating in events such as the Girl Geek Dinners we're making strides toward a world where no woman has to hear such demeaning comments.

    Thanks to The Whisperer for the quote!
