I appreciate the write up! As I myself have grown in my career I find myself being responsible for conducting interviews and evaluating potential prospects to hire. I find it important to hear different perspectives and understand what others see.

I think exposure to different points of view is critical to reducing biases. And this is not simply men hearing women, but of all types of people with different background. Especially if the background is not, for lack of a better term, "common" because humans have a tendency to be uncomfortable with the unfamiliar.
