Many, if not most, of the great resources for learning CSS were made by women. I can’t help but wonder if that’s why some men struggle with it so much. Long threads arguing about CSS, pointing to subpar tutorials. Too many men simply cannot respect anything created by a woman.

Glad you got @fantasai on this formidable list She is by far the cornerstone of #CSS from a spec standpoint and a lovely human as well. She knows where all the ex - csswg bodies are buried, I like to tell her. It's the truth! lovely Jen. Godmothers, all of us to #css and #webdev

So much this. A single talk she gave a few years ago contained the approaches that, if people listened, would alleviate most of their made-up problems with CSS.

The one I mentioned by @fantasai, @zomigi on Flexbox, @jensimmons on layout in general, @LeaVerou's classics e.g. on border-radius, @rachelandrew on grid. They and @tabatkins have turned CSS into something any designer can use. They've humanized it.

I love that thought of "humanizing" - it's not anthropomorphizing which is just attribution. It's applying the theory in real-time and that has definitely been largely pushed forward by everyone named and so many more who work in trenches not so much on stages.
