Male Domination of Philosphy

@Theorist

yes, I am in engineering, more of mid-senior role so I don’t hear BS anymore. My opinion is certainly respected where I am now.

O and I am not the only one this has happened to. I know other girls who have taken up the same position after I left and they tell me how field techs are rude to them. It is the same story. This was years ago! Maybe you don’t pay attention to it because it doesn’t affect you.

That is a good point!

and of course, respect comes as you climb the ladder but women do face sexism/discrimination in any male dominated field that men may not notice because it doesn’t affect them.

So you work in a blatantly sexist work place, in which no female employee has complained to HR? Because where I work, this would never happen. Technicians are pretty blunt, and many of them think that women get preferential treatment, but none of them think that their opinions are dismissible.

And yes, maybe I don’t notice it but many of the women I know at work, and from school, are not the types to take this stuff quietly and would certainly have spoken up had their been the kind of discrimination that you described. I’m not saying sexism doesn’t exist, I’m saying that *in general, *I don’t think it’s systematic.

By your logic, men also face discrimination in fields dominated by women, like nursing for example.
