Thank you for your patience. 1) Many women dress nicely. Some for themselves, some to impress others as well, most to impress the opposite gender. I can't see myself complimenting my female colleagues on the outfit, while I would definitely complement non-work-related female acquaintances. 2) My colleague is a great engineer. Saying "You are a great engineer" is ok, saying "You are a proof that girls can kick ass in engineering" I feel is a no-no. In the first case I'm completely ignoring that she's a woman. And I understand that it is ok, that the "you are a woman" prism should be out of the optics. I think that many women want to be seen as women at their workplaces, just without any advances, condescension (mostly tech thing), harassment etc. Firstly a professional, secondly a woman. I hope this makes it clearer.. or am I just an unaware misogynist?
