This is the best summary I could come up with:


This is a glaring contrast to women's public bathrooms, which can feel like stepping into a feminist support group.

The chatter, the laughter, the occasional tears and waves of support for those crying makes for a heartening sense of camaraderie and solidarity.

It turns out that's how many men shake hands with each other — and I had a steep learning curve ahead to perfect this ritual.

If you have a feminine-sounding voice, it can lead to an onslaught of verbal abuse, harassment and misogyny from players online.

As a woman, you're made constantly aware of how much sound you're making where it seems that men aren't conditioned to be attuned to that at all.

At work I'm no longer asked, or expected, to organise gifts for farewells or birthdays, morning teas or lunches, or plans like booking meeting rooms, sending invites, taking minutes or extra administrative tasks.
