  > no one believes women when they say there are problems and hence there is no progress .. There are huge public awareness campaigns around all of these issues.

    Yes, and for good reason :-)

      So when people say no one believes women when they say there are problems, and at the same time, there are huge public awareness campaigns, I have to point out the inherent contradiction involved. Everything I see in the media is that there are not only huge awareness campaigns, but that when something does happen, there are also huge outcries about it.

        look at the skeptics in this thread as an example .. does it give you a warm and fuzzy ? this is a stressful thread to read.

          We are complete strangers to the situation, we are only hearing one side of the story, and now we're the bad guys because we don't take 100% of what you said for granted?. I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, as sexism is undoubtedly a real issue in our society and our industry, but every other comment I read of yours makes it ever closer to a textbook case of a baseless accusation made to get back at someone you didn't like, and I'm ready to be conclusive about this. Do you realize how much this impacts all future cries for help from women being grossly mistreated because of their gender? My SO is going into engineering and it boils my blood to think how much people are willing to abuse the system until she can no longer be protected by it and we're back to the 1950's.
