      I’m being tongue in cheek as I’m an engineer myself, but there is a certain type of person who is overrepresented in the career and leaves a bad taste in people’s mouths for us. These people are firmly camped at mount stupid on most topics, generally show poor social skills, and in general are not fun to be around. There’s also a misogyny problem within the career that many women have picked up on

        Oof I got really worried I was camping at the peak myself just now, but then I saw the examples given and feel a bit better haha.

        Hopefully being kind, open minded, and loving dominant woman doesn’t make us a minority, as a fellow engineer.

        Cheers, thanks for the explanation.
