Serious question, tweeps. I'm open to the possibility that men thinking women intellectually inferior not uncommon. Why don't *I* see it?https://twitter.com/nevynxxx/status/912625196204478464 …

Eh, could be lots of things. Could be where you are, or the field doesn't have the same level of competition and male dominance.
-
Yeah. My profession is female-dominated but my work for a humanist org has more men & my political-arguing circle is more male.
-
Yeah but what is your area of expertise? Many men also see women as experts in emotion, so if that's what you're arguing about...
-
Late medieval religious writing officially. I spend more time arguing for secularism, liberalism, gender equality, respect for science etc
-
And the things you argue amount mostly involve human relationships and sociological development, which are "women stuff". And lit, obviously
-
It seems to be about 75% male tho. And people keep claiming it's a old, white, man's club. And yet: https://thinklab.com/c/secularism/thought-leaders …

For example, I work in law and video games, and women are low on the ground where those two intersect.
-
Yes, I expect they are. Tech ppl are more likely to be liberal than general population, I saw. Not sure abt law. What impression do u get?
-
It's not an issue for the people I work with closely, but I definitely struggle more than younger and less experienced male colleagues.
-
The partners are my shield, they're both white men. They know it, I know it, it works for us but we all realize society is fucked that way.
-
Yes. It would be.

They don't,but men are more aggressive in conversation and some women take that as them being talked down to even if that's not the case

But my best friend is a psych PhD in social work and while she experienced it in school she feels it less in her work because more balance

And if you work in venture capital or anywhere on Wall Street it's way worse, from what understand. At least games are trying to be diverse!
