[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're really much tougher on older males, from my experience, in IT or tech. If you are "old" and male you are not respected. Older women can play the nice office mom and bake cookies and everyone loves them. OP, you won't like this, but [b]the women who usually succeed with men in STEM fields are the ones who are themselves. You can be one of the guys, or a girly girl or the office mom[/b]. Most women have much better communication skills. Maybe use that to your advantage. Bake some cookies or pumpkin bread for them. [/quote] Do you hear the cognitive dissonance in yourself? You're telling OP to be herself and yet you tell her to assume one of these three roles. I agree with the advice to be yourself. People can tell when you're being fake and it leads to a loss of respect.[/quote]
