i was in an engineering lab with all men and one specific man always got on my nerves, during the third to last lab i got to my breaking point and i have a 10 min vid of me going off on him lol (for this exact reason)

I really don’t get this attitude as a dude getting a double major in math and physics. I adore the chicks who go into these fields, they’re very hard workers often and I think it’s sick that more variety of people are getting into it. Keep doing cool shit, I’m cheering you all on!

It’s fine they probably just asking to learn from you,especially if it was group work, I do that too because I want to understand and usually girls are smarter ngl

I had a required writing class last semester. My independent class work scored high 90s and were even used as class examples. We were then placed in AI generated groups. Just my luck, placed with 2 guys. The most insufferable fucks ever. For the first group projected one of the guys suggested he would do all the work. However, I offered I could do 2/4 of the worked. He asked “Are you sure? Those sections are over 30% of the report each.” (In the most condescending tone ever)

I’m not a woman in STEM but I took geo science as a GE and rotated lab tables because group dynamics interest me. The all male table would not listen to what I said like sometimes it literally seemed like they couldn’t hear me. But the guys who opted for co-Ed tables were equally good team mates.

Personally as a guy I don’t do it, I’m just pleased when there’s women in my classes. But 100% have witnessed it first hand

Deadass I’m a dude in engineering and friends with some of the girls in my classes I go to them to help me out often, they usually get how to explain to me

I was a physics lab TA and this gross dude kept trying to prove me I was wrong when I was just trying to help him. F you then like? I’m the TA for a reason buddy

Yall just got stuck with the computer engineering majors, regular stem guys are too busy fighting for their lives. P.S. himbo is an acceptable term for us

Why is this downvoted it sounds like they deserved to hear what she had to say after she listened to him for a semester of bullshit

yeah bro constantly told me i was wrong but wasn’t doing anything the entire lab and failed the normal class so he genuinely knew nothing — i and one of the other kids did 50% every project and this bitch ass boy would talk over us during presentations so it seemed like he did more (i did tell the prof tho at the end of sem lmao)

I think sometimes women get paranoid and think stuff has something to do with their sex when it’s just how the works works for everyone a lot of the time

Please don’t use the word “chicks” when referring to professional women

Unless, that is, you’d like for them all to start referring to professional men as “himbos”

After getting our grade back we scored a B+. His sections scored 40s and 60s while my sections were scored 100s. Even after the first group projected they were highly critical of all my work. Though I learned to not take shit from small minded fucks.

there is a VERY clear behavior shift between men doubting each other versus men doubting women. calling women paranoid for a largely shared experience is very close-minded lol

no bro people are more critical of women. people talk about how woman have to work harder to gain the same respect it’s just how the world turns. the world right now is basically in favor on men

These professional women are my friends and haven’t expressed that calling them chicks is distasteful and trust me they say their peace ✌️

Women have been conditioned to tolerate infantilizing labels whereas their male counterparts have not, it doesn’t matter if your friends speak out against it or not, it’s about having the good grace to address your colleagues with the respect they earned and deserve ✌️

in this process in which many men themselves have seen women being belittled in stem class settings and workplaces, it is safe to say that this is not just in women’s heads. being questioned in something like science is highly expected because that is how we understand more of science; by asking questions. but there comes a point when questions are not being asked for the sake of clarity or help, but rather to embarrass or belittle women; which many women often go through.

If u have an example that would be great because so far you’ve stated you feel belittled but so far I have no clue what or how you mean by that.

If u feel like u NEED To, I guess, I was just asking for an explanation of what you mean

ah yes for sure. i was in my physics discussion, and of course, we were asking each other questions for the sake of clarity; as classmates would do. however, as time went on, the group, who were also all men; as there were maybe three other girls in there, began to question my work to an unnecessary point; as they got the same answer as me but told me i was still wrong. they began to ignore anything i tried to explain in my work, but still found something wrong with it >

and only ceased this once i said “i really don’t know anymore,” to which they responded, of course, to each other. in this case it really was not subtle, but in other cases it can be seen as more than what it is, which i will agree with you. but in this particular instance that prompted me to write this comment; it was clear what the intent was.

“you’re both just wrong” that literally shows you have no idea what you’re talking about… you aren’t a woman and you clearly don’t know much about how women are treated differently in professional settings. do better
