(13,040 posts)22. i've run into this all of my career as well
For most of my professional life in my career as an engineer, i mostly worked with men. When i did start to work with women, i am usually the only one with a tech background or one of the very few. The men will say subtle things to discredit or throw shade at stuff i've produced, OR try to one-up me by taking my stuff and present it as their original idea.
It's better now, but we've got a long way to go as far as equality for women is concerned.
