> "The continuous pattern of all these people treating me like I didn't know what was going on, or excluding me from conversations and not trusting my assertions, all these things added up and it felt like there was an undercurrent of sexism" Well, this happens to men as well. I'm a male engineer and not being asked, not being trusted is just how it works at my current job. YMMV The reason why we are seeing negative reactions here might be that some people are seriously tired of everything being sexism.[1] [1]: e.g. "Donglegate" Adria Richards, who cost two people their jobs because she 1.) most likely misunderstood a joke that was not meant for her 2.) misused female privilege (yes, they exist as well)
