Abstract

The article presents author's views on a woman engineer's responsibility, which is exactly the same as a man's: to be technically proficient, quality focused and ethics-minded. Mentions gendered phrases at the workplace, ones that would never be made to a man, that imply inequality; including "You look tired," "Why aren't you smiling?" "Who takes care of your kids when you travel?" Talks about subtler forms of sexism and shares her own experience of dealing with it.
