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

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.

Exactly. We tend to devalue things made easier. These women made CSS easier. But we're stuck with others complicating things. Almost like a club to keep others out. I find the current state of affairs a kind of tooling circle jerk. Anything rather than solid basics.

That said, the first CSS I learned was from Bert Bos, and plenty from @meyerweb. I'm glad CSS at least comprises a reasonably diverse community (in my own experience)
