Keep Calm and Be Average
summary
The talk examines the stereotype that women must be exceptionally brilliant to occupy tech or senior roles and explains how that double standard limits average women’s expectations of entering those fields. It argues that true equality is reached not when only brilliant women attain key positions but when the same proportion of average (mediocre) women as mediocre men hold those roles.
