Reply To: Women working in a male-dominated industry

[Heather Smith]

I don’t have professional experience but will say that I had a couple professors that would give females in studio a B grade when their work was obviously better then the males that received A’s. We noticed it but what were we going to do? I can think of one female classmate in particular that was very engineering minded and blew everyone away in studio with her grading/drainage project…yep she got a B while some schmuck she helped got an A. Crazy.

I don’t know what we do? But I will say this:

“I think women also can stab each other in the back, perhaps more than men..Once having attained responsiblity, she doesn’t want anyone else there?”

Rubbed me the wrong way. Thank you again for stereotyping women in a way that a man wouldn’t be. A woman is a bitch for being aggressive whereas aggression is viewed as a positive when it pertains to a man’s behavior.

BZ, I suppose one way around this is to make them think it was their idea…haha.
