A short YouTube video by Caitlin Sarian (May 10, 2024) responding to men who claim women get cybersecurity jobs because of their appearance. From the RSA conference, the speaker condemns this stereotype, reports it still occurs in 2024, highlights women’s leadership in cybersecurity, and calls for allies to tag and support women in STEM.
For the men that believe that women only get cybersecurity jobs because we're pretty. You belong in a cave. You are literally a barbarian and you have the largest chip on your shoulder. I'm at the RSA conference right now, which is literally the largest cyber security conference in the world and it's been around for 20 plus years and there are so many incredible women that are leading teams, building incredible platforms, etc, etc, and I still have friends, women friends that have told me at this conference that men have come up to them and basically told them that they're only there because they're pretty. What the. And I post a lot of trending audio videos about, you know, captioning, like when guys don't think women belong in cyber or whatever, and everyone's like, who says this? Who says it? People freaking say this. This is still happening in 2024. So I just wanted to post a video, just a reminder that women are still getting this in STEM fields today. And for all the ladies in STEM and all the men that are supporting women in stem, tag your women in STEM friends below so they feel supported and loved. We get this constantly.
