[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]the boys in robotics seem to have much poorer social skills (and make inappropriate sexist jokes around girls-including my dd)  than my dd athlete male friends...so maybe this is what females mean by not being accepted around male engineering students?[/quote]

Nope, the robotics kids don’t make those comments and they are around girls in robotics. My athletic kids friends do. [/quote]

this has not been our experience[/quote]

Well, that has been our experience. [/quote]

DP. Yeah, we all got that, but you can't assume your experience is universal. Your previous statement suggested an absolute.  PP debunked that with her experience.  No need to restate yours.

My kid in engineering HS program has also experienced  some juvenile male behavior. A type of cyber bullying during covid. Mutual friends called the boys out, and it stopped thankfully.  Seemed more related to immaturity than malice. She also knows some pretty nice guys, (but also not super mature). The girls in the program tend to be more mature, and they get together to study or in stem club and help each other out. Hoping mine will find some similar at college.[/quote]
