I haven't gone to a comp neuro specific conference in years due to health issues and so the numbers would be hard to find in old notebooks unfortunately. My husband's on his way home from one, I'll ask him what the gender ratio like.

Ugh. Fingers crossed it's not abysmal!

Now I'm wondering if he will have noticed. He's very socially progressive but it's his first small conference and his focus was feeling out job opportunities. Curious if the gender ratio will have crossed his mind. Will report back.

My partner notices more than I do and he's the one who got me into really picking up on this. Especially that women seem to be interrupted even more often than men for example.

Sometimes it's personality, as I often block things out to help me cope etc!

I relate so much! I have been in male-dominated fields forever (comp neuro/bio, physics, tech, data sci) and I don't have any memories of being mistreated or not taken seriously based on my gender. I know it's happen, I just didn't notice or blocked it out. Or misattributed it.

I know I semi-consciously blocked some stuff like that out, especially when I was in my late teens/early 20s. I also only have no specific memories of how other women were treated based on their gender.

I have vague memories from early years of insulting chatter about other women or women in general that I either tried to side eye or awkwardly laugh at so that the moment would pass.

Oh & abt yearly some older male colleague/mentor type, 10-20 yrs older, would tell me it was too bad I wasn't older, bc I was so easy to talk to. Some were married. None pushed further than that. Now at 36, I can't remember exactly which men did said this in which circumstances

All of which is to say, I know not noticing and blocking out some things
