I'm really glad you wrote this post despite your trepidation, it's much needed and frankly I needed to read it. I have voted for witnesses and yes it's sort of vaguely occurred to me that I only know of 1 female witness (patrice and yes I had voted for her) but this puts into perspective the necessity of voting AND encouraging other women to take on the role of witnesses! (I'm far too clueless with tech even I wasn't eaten alive already by my art life). Thank you!!
