Female Engineers Share Experiences In A Male-Dominated Field

im 16 and doing computer engineering the men patronize me a lot

NOT Male Dominated Field.

we r not giving away jobs to male. if u were not here to get free passes and a overused stree h 0 3 with entitleet issue, u'd understand all jobs are fair iif u have the quality. but WOMEN like u only want benefit and freedom without accountability and responsibility.

i am tired of seeing victim playing women

Technology is a male dominated field. Its nice to see a woman share her story.

Something related is the question if present installations in factories are not unnecessary masculine so very complex,full of tubes an everything " big "in order to intimidate laypeople. The right scale is important and small could mean expensive but I still wonder if engineers can even think out of their long time box of cheap fossil fuel and steel.
To save energy, everything should be compact, elegant and maintenance free and so almost more feminine. The end of all energy is low temperature waste energy, we should avoid it as much as possible or do useful things with it. I really doubt present engineers are able to leave behind their traditions. To give an example: compare the elegant "liquid CO2 energy storage" concept with that of "liquid air energy storage" which has at the core a good idea but it's like the insight is missed to make it efficient enough.

I am from Peru and studied Architecture in college remember in my first year, a professor told me: "Why don´t you study social sciences? or communications? You don´t have a chance here" This was after receiving a low grade because I didn´t understand the assignment and I delivered the project with many errors. I would say I defended my presentation with all my strength and with good communication skills. But my teacher's comment did nothing but humiliate me and I remembered it until my senior year. Well... as soon as I graduated I pivoted to a career in software engineering as a self-taught student. And I ended up working as an engineer lol. My advice to all women in tech is to let these comments make you stronger, listen only to constructive criticism and your own voice.

Gosh, I needed to hear this today. Thanks ladies! I am also an engineer and having it rough at the moment 😊

I'm not sure why men don't think women have the intellectual capacity to work in stem fields. I had no issue majoring in science and graduating at the top of my class as an honors student. I then went on to become a full-time laboratory technician in the stem field of genetics and ancestry. And I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be here getting paid a comfortable living salary for the work I do if I truly sucked at it. Lol

Every job is challenging. No one will be easy going to everyone. Men also will have issues at all work. But stop complaining. I think women are not capable of not stopping to complain.

These are political talks. Software companies try their best to give equal opportunities despite of genders. But women are basically not good at coding.

"You are too slow....Maybe you should clear your desk"
Not sure what the person would tell his daughter if she wanted to get into....???....being a primary school teacher? being a receptionist? cashier at the grocery store?
Because that's what his own daughter would ONLY be good for???

Men are far more discriminated against than women these days in engineering

Men constantly have to cover for women, and women are typically assigned much simpler tasks but given much of the praise.

Women are sometimes more collaborative than men in engineering, but they usually seek to exclude men when collaborating so they can give other women praise.

Engineering was difficult enough as it was and now for inexperienced men entering the field who have their heart set on becoming engineers have this "bow down to women or be cancelled or considered difficult"

It would be a great day if we grab all these morons and drop them off in Afghanistan

Is not dominated by men, it's a Men Field , and always supports women in mathematics, but I don't like Modern_Feminist it's Equally <Toxic> .

every indian tech guy or girls says the same thing, cuz their parents told them to pick it

I quit my first engineering job in August due to toxic environment and a bad manager who doesn’t know how to manage a team and lacks interpersonal skills. Last thing he told me was: engineering is not for everyone. I wanted to tell him: one day I will beat him in any areas of my life and his photography sucks.

Few days a female coworker slapped my butt, & I didn't tell anyone. Now go figure.

They are complaining about the same stupid corporate stuff, nothing new and specific because of their “gender”

Wow thank you guys so much for this video. I started a PM position in AV 6 months or so ago and really needed this today. You're both warriors. We're in this together.

The field is not dominated because men want it that way. It's completely opposite.
Women are less represented in CS because fewer of them choose to study CS. Fewer of them choose such degree after high-school.
It's so simple. Everyone gets hired and paid based on how good they are. They are just less woman in this field by their choice.

Here comes a victim

Who are those 2 whltegirIs in the vid??

Men and women are totally different. Women thought that they are equal to men but when they are treated like men then they feel oppressed.

Oh yeah. My favorite is when people tell me not to get emotional whenever I express that something is not right.

Some of These stories are so sad I see my fellow POC and Strong Women bright minds sharing I’d love to help any of you looking.

Are you a code whisperer or data wizard ready for a new adventure? If so, come join our Seattle team at Microsoft, as our newest Software Engineer!!

I'm currently a senior high school student and I'm aspire to become a programmer !! I hope I'll become successful someday just like these women. They inspire me ^^

Loved this video, next time make a video about male experience in female dominated industries like nursing

As a developer, the women I worked with were always competent at their jobs. They were never the top nor the bottom coders. They were always in the middle, which isn’t a bad thing. The men were either the best or the worst of the programmers. Unfortunately, I was one of the bottom ones. The only thing I might add is that only the men were willing to stay late to finish an assignment. None of the women coders were willing to do this.

I went to schul with pu$$y - there is a reason Y the stigma exists.

Wow. I am a guy and I was told to keep my workspace less cluttered when I was younger and I was not up set about that. Or if someone says I am doing something too slow I work up. Maybe you guys should think about improving yourselves instead of blaming others for your shortcomings.

Women are great team players but men, not so much.

I want to be an engineer but I’m only in 9th grade and this makes it seem super scary lol

Human interactions function differently than human-machine interactions...
👭👯‍♀️👍👩‍💻📱😐
Spending more time with people who add value to lives or being around with lovable people makes our ability to form stable relationships stronger🖐✊

I like penguins

Im really interested in coding but I am scared of the discrimination and the mansplaining I will explain. How do we handle such situations?

90% of the people in our class are male and honestly I haven't noticed any difference. Everyone's super nice and chill. No belittling. No 'spoiling.' Just a bunch of people with the same interest, it's awesome. I forget my gender sometimes :p

I am in computer science, i didn't have anyone telling me I couldn't do it. I was an A student, I felt very encouraged by males to continue because they would come to me for help with their work. It was very encouraging but it also made me realize that I like teaching and helping rather than the work itself... One thing I regret being a woman is the lack of confidence and that certain experiences gets to you more emotionally. After graduation, my lack of confidence made me choose a less technical career, and even within the company, I did not ask to switch careers. To me, it was not society, it was myself who stopped me. Women needs to be encouraged and asked specifically what they want and encourage them get there. They might not ask for themselves.

Is it weird that I hate maths and science and neither like nor dislike programming (but I’m good at it) but I’m majoring in computer science? I’m getting high grades and about to graduate but it’s like... I don’t really know what else to do apart from computer science.

i feel like i had the opposite experience, at my college theres a lot of girls in my computer science classes. ive also had guys tell me that i am better than them in my computer science classes and at coding.

I'm a first year IT student and I kinda related to the Grey shirted woman on how my parents told me to choose this course instead of Fine Arts course.

Had this all the time too! especially when i started taking my microsoft technology associates 🤦‍♀️

I had to prove I didn't cheat on a math final exam just because I got the highest score in the class. I was forced to show my notes. Infuriating.

I'm just getting into engineering and I'm very thankful that the company I work for is great.

Let me tell you a story. I was a veterinarian. veterinarian medicine is a WOMAN dominated STEM field, as many STEM fields, are (biology, agriculture, chemistry, and veterinarian medicine btw are a few). I frequently was not put in charge of minor and major surgeries EVEN THOUGH I WAS JUST AS IF NOT MORE, QUALIFIED. so please make a followup video about men in women-dominated fields, because there is struggle that not enough people talk about.

I still get comments now. 5 years as an engineer in the same company, seeing this video made me feel empowered again, thank you

Boy can I relate

Oh my god!!! This is soooo relatable! So relatable! Esp the negging!!! I thought I was being sensitive

I don't wan't to doubt their sincerity, but I just find it hard to believe that this stuff happened on a modern college campus. If anything my experience as a CS major was the complete opposite. Time was taken out of lectures to reinforce how important female inclusiveness is and internship offers/emails specifically asked that the girls all apply because they wanted to increase the female staff
