Hi Clémentine,

I am appalled at the behavior of your colleagues. What they have chosen as a cultural norm is not healthy in so many ways. Please know you are not alone. There are many people commenting in support of your experience and thoughts, and as a fellow human and additionally as a man I want to say that I support you as well.

Please continue to be an excellent engineer and learn, grow, and lead! Speaking as a Head of Engineering and Product Design, the type of behavior you describe is so far removed from level of respect and professionalism that every engineer on my team is required to meet. May we push forward together to continue to curb instances of sexism and lack of empathy like what you describe.

Stay strong and congratulations on your acceptance to 42! Thank you for sharing and making those situations known.
