When the men in suits found out about my knitting they expressed little interest
Cherry-topped by disappointment. Rare heartfelt grief for my wasted potential
Forgetting how they ask me to weave a message into the business mission
How the UX transitioned from "Buy" to "Sold!" button was seamless
Engineers code in the binary that came from weaving looms
Spend years writing over women’s work creating genius male technology as in techne as in craft
Trapped in a collective masculine dream of genius male self-determination
Women work in the backroom watching men jerk themselves off into history
I sit and rant about the undervaluation of women's work
Citing these contributions equate them to success
I use their tool to be visible
