> I've certainly experienced this but I would also posit, don't most men? Thanks for pointing that out. When I read the article, I succumbed to my annoyance with the neologism "microaggression" that I essentially glossed over the statement. This is actually the root of my annoyance, which is that if an aggression is so "micro", then it's actually unremarkable, so having a word for it is downright paradoxical. I'm sure men experience such borderline-hostile indifference from others, as well, especially, as you say, in the technical fields. I'm also sure it's a highly subjective experience, for both participants, which makes it so hard to measure, let alone discuss.
