Actual bullet points from a seminar for women at my workplace. What male dominated environment? Possibly my building is skewed but there are so many programs focused on 'support' and with administration dominated by women the office population skews to the female gender. Even within the more technical jobs there is a pretty good percentage of women, its hardly accurate to say the field is male dominated anymore.
I absolutely loathe when women in this country cling to notions that they are overcoming barriers. Umm maybe our gender as a group worries more about family life so has some built in dis-advantage -- but there is no male patriarchy holding women down in this country in this century.
And I believe most of the ones who wring their hands about perceived BS slights here, are all "we cant criticize the religion of pieces that would be culturally insensitive" even as the ROP subjects females to really nasty stuff like honor killings, genital mutilations (don't care that its mostly the older women doing that to girls) spelling out how husbands can beat their wives ...........
