The type of ignorance we're still struggling against

20. Wow, I'm sorry that you have to work in that environment.

I work in IT and I don't feel like I am treated any different than my male coworkers. IT people seem to value knowledge and skills above anything else. They don't seem to care about what you look like, gender, etc... any of that social stuff. Teaching is much more social. My husband works in the teaching field. They seem to be much more political and weird to each other like that. No politics where I work. We're too engrossed in the technical details of some program to be able to think about anything else. I guess that is the good thing about working with a bunch of people that probably have Aspergers... they couldn't careless about your gender.
