As a guy, I'd like to see less sexism in the field, there's no reason why gender would affect skill

I'm curious, are you in the USA? Working in Western Europe, so far I have never seen sexism (nor racism) happen at work. Outside of it, for sure though.

Are you a guy by any chance. I also hadn't noticed until the day I asked a couple of my women colleagues. Turns out it can be very subtle but "effective". And it can also come from women.
