Men hit on women everywhere; finding people to procreate with is pretty instinctive, and someone asking for your number or telling you you’re beautiful is neither sexist nor offensive.

Not all women experience “constant sexism” or “marginalization”, and many women don’t keep a log of every perceived slight they feel coming from men.

You went to Stanford and work at Google. You lead a very privileged and fortunate life — be grateful for what you have rather than harping endlessly on how terrible it is that someone asked for your number or didn’t think you were into sports.

I’ve worked with immature sexist men, too, and you know what? The older you get, and as you advance in your career and start working with adult men rather than peers in your same generational demographic, you’ll find that your experiences — in both your work and personal lives — will change drastically.

The quicker you get the chip off your shoulder and stop using your gender as your professional identity, the happier you’ll be — and the more successful your career will be.
