1. Acoso y Entornos Laborales Hostiles.
Numerosas mujeres relatan incidentes de acoso sexual, comentarios degradantes y entornos laborales inseguros, a menudo perpetrados por profesores o colegas de alto rango, con poca o ninguna rendición de cuentas institucional.
- In my final year of school, my physics teacher told me to my face that women with degrees are bitter and depressed.
- My former mother-in-law was a programmer at ibm, really talented. She told me that in college, a computer science professor looked at her, the only woman in the class, on the first day, and told her in front of everyone that she might as well leave now because shes never going to pass the class.
- Being told not to go to office hours with a certain professor bc it was unsafe, then not doing as well in his class as the men.
- Nearly every academic woman has stories of sexual and gendered harassment. Some involve basic leering, others outright attacks.
- I had a professor take a swing at me out of the blue during class. Turns out he was going thru a divorce i reminded him of his wife.
2. Devaluación de la Competencia y el Éxito Académico.
La inteligencia y los logros académicos de las mujeres, especialmente los doctorados, son atacados y minimizados públicamente, a menudo por hombres inseguros que temen el éxito femenino. Esto se manifiesta en comentarios despectivos y la negación de mérito.
- Over on the other website, a woman posted about her doctorate and was flooded with absolutely vile comments, most boiling down to women are for making babies not learning.
- Lol theyre feeling insecure that a woman is smarter and more successful than them. Congratulations on your phd!! may you make many, many more weak men cry in the shadow of your success!
- Some people have the audacity to shit on a womans success in academics using the very technology weve gainedbecause of a field greatly indebted to women.
- I love that the guy that looked up stats on the internet was automatically given the upper hand by people but the woman who is the expert is the one that is accused of being wrong, stupid, bad at her job.
- The sheer small pp energy of looking at a woman who is clearly beautiful and highly intelligent and feeling the need to try to push her back into the kitchen.
3. El Agotamiento en Campos Dominados por Hombres (STEM y Tecnología).
Las mujeres en campos como la ingeniería y la tecnología enfrentan un agotamiento constante debido a la necesidad de demostrar continuamente su competencia, ser ignoradas por colegas masculinos y lidiar con prejuicios arraigados sobre sus capacidades.
- Being a woman in engineering remains exhausting. You send emails, you request, you follow up, you go thru all the proper channels. Crickets. You push it up the chain. To a man. They ask. Instantaneous reply. Fucking. Exhausting.
- I wish she was wrong but a lifetime in tech tells me she is not. I have witnessed the most childish, inappropriate, unprofessional behaviour from men in tech so many times, and it was given a pass because they were good at programming.
- Any woman who has worked in a male dominated field already knows this deep into her core.
- As a woman in non-academic stem, had at least, 2 professional mentors who thought i was really into them because i stood up for myself, challenged them and challenged unfair sexist treatment for myself and others. They thought i was flirting.
- Sometimes, being a woman in tech means patiently waiting after having proposed the correct solution to a problem from the beginning, but being ignored for about five hours, even if you keep repeating the same, until everyone else discovers the solution you mentioned earlier in the conversation.
4. Mecanismos de Supervivencia y Costos Profesionales.
La presión de la misoginia estructural obliga a las mujeres a desarrollar mecanismos de defensa, como la sobre-competencia o la compartimentalización, mientras que la falta de apoyo institucional y la traición de otras mujeres complican aún más su avance profesional.
- What this book might be how sycophancy and internalized misogyny can create monsters, that being a woman in academia is a humiliation ritual thats impossible to escape from without tanking your career.
- I hate that a man with glasses and zero experience in a field can just say anything and be accredited but when a woman actually knows the subject shes criticized and belittled.
- Working in a female-dominated profession has taught me that nothing hurts a woman more or stunts her career more than another woman.
- The part of being a woman in academia where you have to constantly gut-check whether your mentor really thinks your work is good or if hes just waiting to try something is exhausting.
- I am a woman who knows what other women want in their workplaces. Its not ai its fair pay, benefits, and to not have to deal with harassment.
