“use the educational setting to solicit a romantic relationship.” And the problem. They are men. Men are attracted to women.
“Then in my 100+ student classes, I noticed only a few women around me, and I began to wonder whether I really belonged or whether I was as good as the guys in my classes.” That’s a confidence problem with you, not anything else.
“When I complained, I was promised a bonus when the software shipped, but I never received this bonus, despite the successful launch of a spinoff company based on that software.” Should have gotten that in written.
“On the social side, when I went out in the evenings with friends, guys came up to me and asked about my major. When I said, “electrical engineering”, they would laugh and say, “no, really”. When my seriousness became clear, they would move on.” That was more like a nervous laugher, not anything else. And getting all serious, I would move on too.
“The man announced to the entire group of about thirty, mostly male, colleagues that the schedule would be rearranged so that I could breastfeed my baby. I was mortified about this disclosure” So you got what you want, but then complain.
“As I carried my baby through the conference break area, I met a senior male leader of the conference. He questioned why I brought my baby to the conference instead of leaving her home — clearly disapproving of my choice.” So he can’t just ask a question. All he did was ask a question. And you think he thinks something else.
“such as outstanding women repeatedly being talked over in meetings, skipped over for speaking engagements, ignored for panel presentations, neglected as potential co-investigators for grant proposals, and passed over for awards.” That happens to men too.
I’m not saying she wrong, but she’s implying too much.
