As a woman and then a woman of color in a small town in Missouri, I see nothing wrong with what she said, always advocate for yourself. Even as a young male(especially if your black , ect) in an environment of older men advocate always for yourself.

Nothing wrong with what she said. She is merely describing her lived experiences honestly and not sugarcoat bs. Stop trying to gaslight her by saying she's bitter.

[@SimicChameleon]

It impressive she got a biologist degree and job. Huge respect for her to getting a biology degree and working. I understand it a hard degree path but she should be celebrated for making her dream become real.

As a man, i agree there is a lot of work that needs to be done regarding sexism and respect towards women in STEM. Furthermore, i can say that as an Indian-american college student, misogyny is still highly prevalent in my society back in india and i wish i could change that as well. Baby steps, but i wish the world to be a better place 👍

[@earthstar7534]

I have been working in a lab 17 years. I do agricultural contamination testing. I'm one of two women in my place of work. I have worked for this company 12 years. Stand up for yourself. Its that simple. I've seen way more ageism than sexism. Generally speaking in my field its the loudest mouths struggle to meet the workload requirements. Its a unisex issue. They also tend to be the biggest complainers. I've had lots of female peers come in hot trying to change everything a month after being hired, then they get in their feelings about being told no. For context, I work in rural Oklahoma.

Hey, student at said college here. I think that one of the main reasons they use this person's first name is bc most of our other professors ask us to use their first names.

[@ShawnteAmoure]

She said she specifically asked her students to call her professor. So the excuse that they call someone else something different is absolutely no excuse.

[@TanyaScorpio]

Interesting.mind you when I went to school 30 years ago you had to call the professor Dr Mr or Mrs... I don't recall seeing professor...however if they asked definitely I would have and we always respected the teacher...you could hear a pin drop lol

[@asterling4]

many of my profs have us call them by their first names, but you won't catch me _dead_ just assuming it. if they introduce themselves as dr. then i'm calling them dr. & assuming you can ditch the title without invitation is disrespectful. so it's fair to feel disrespected

[@BillGriffin77]

Biology is a majority female career. According to statistics, taken in 2023, by careerexplorer, interest in biology is about 50/50, between the sexes, yet the industry itself is 67% female. So im not sure what this woman is talking about or why she had to make it a thing when she doesnt even know what shes talking about… I will say the industry is about 50% caucasian, but i see that number going down as more people become interested in the field.

I work in a lab with a woman who has similar claims as this, for some reason she believes her word isn't taken as seriously or that she is disrespected, it's completely fabricated and blown out of proportion. Most of the time we have to work around her bent attitude and still listen to her complain like we don't all put in the same work 🙄

[@Mr.Scootini]

When I was in school I knew so many women with that same twisted mentality. My subject of study was Welding. Interestingly enough, there were girls there. Quite a few actually, all lesbians which was good bc I was the only gay man there. All the girls already had the “men don’t take me seriously” attitude. I remember asking one of them why she thinks that and she struggled to give a believable situational example. They also thought the Instructor was sexist bc he graded their welding and all got like 5/10 when most of the boys got 7-8/10 to 10/10 (which btw getting a 10/10 is HARD everything needs to be perfect) One of the girls showed me her welding and it’s all wiggly. I had no idea how she did that. But my best guess is just the fact that the girls, even tho they are lesbians and claim that they can do what men do, simply can’t handle the massive heat or the heavy welding nozzles for long periods of time. And that’s okay. Even myself, as a man know my limits. I can’t stand there with a 45lbs giant angle-grinder grinding away at massive I-beams for 8hrs straight. With only a 10min break and a 30min in between. At the end of it all, I just don’t understand why some women just refuse to believe that men and women are different. Heck, that everyone is different.

@@ShawnteAmoure it's funny because I'm one of the only people she feels comfortable venting to. I'm a listener and I make peace with everyone on the team. Shes a great person outside of work, but when it comes to being a flowing, adapting member of a team handling complex objectives, it's a different story. I can see clearly the only reason she's not well received by others is that her personality is extremely grating and she complains about everything as if she's the only one going through it. She falls back on her excuse of being the only woman, when I've seen her be extremely difficult in many situations. Other team members have fought for her in many situations giving her the benefit of the doubt, and yet she will still play the victim when things don't go her way. I'm calling it exactly like it is.
