[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Female software engineer here. This guy is an outlier. Yes, institututuonal sexism exists. Yes, I deal with it daily. Yes, it's a male dominated industry. Yes, you have to prove yourself over and over again compared to male peers to gain the same respect given equatable skill sets.

The positive. I've had the pleasure of working with many, many great male software engineers over 20+ years who respect talent without gender bias.

Once you one up these sexist outliers in a public manner a couple of times, they tend to crawl back into their Reddit hole.

You'll still deal with the brogrammer pretending to be an expert in a topic with which they have zero experience, mansplaining, etc... but highly collaborative, agile engineering teams all know everyone's strengths and weaknesses and can pin the tale on the asshole blindfolded with amazing accuracy.[/quote]

Oh you're the "cool girl," right. Got it.[/quote]

What's that supposed to mean?[/quote]

It means that if a woman in tech speaks up for herself, she will immediately be mocked! Luckily, women in tech are generally not susceptible to this kind of lame-ass taunt. Men, on the other hand, have to Shut! Them! Up! Every! Time!
