isn't this a challenge for every software engineer?
it is practically a stereotype for other engineers to criticize someone else's code
it is practically a stereotype for senior software engineers to face a career plateau
and you think this was uniquely sexual discrimination? so lets give you the benefit of the doubt, of the things you described, these are issues all software engineers face.
- brianlweiner 10y agoThe reality is that women face presumptions about their technical incompetence at a much higher rate than men. This is well documented and researched. [1] Obviously male developers also get undermined by their coworkers and face career plateaus. That is reality, but it is not a binary action - simply because some men face similar problems does not imply that it is an equal problem for both genders.

- cloudjacker 10y agoYeah I'm going to stick to what I said earlier, the way you phrased it almost tries to put a shield around any rebuttal. He could have completely not mentioned the idea of gender being a crutch and it would have sounded like a gender neutral problem known to engineers.
- carrja99 10y agoYou do have a point. I do have a male friend who is also facing a similar situation. When I commented I was emotional since it was more recent and while she was demoted without regards to performance the dude promoted 3 white guys he brought in. ಠ_ಠ
