No because life is actually very difficult for women in male dominated fields. Not only social exclusion but sexual harassment as well.

Guys can't just sexually harass someone and get away with it. Your view of the industry seems highly skewed. Just because someone is a woman in the industry doesn't mean she is automatically getting sexually harassed.

To the contrary, I feel now men at work are extremely guarded and don't become too friendly with women, just in case it might be misinterpreted or for fear of gossip in the office.  If a man hangs out too much with a woman, gets lunch/coffee (god forbid a drink!) and the woman is pretty - people talk.  Which is a real shame.  Holding hope for the next gen - particularly as men-on-women, now means the same as men-on-men!!  Wokeness actually does brings a more equal footing!

 

FFF (strong emphasis on the F) NO. The competition side of women is so low that if I had put the same ambition and grind and whatever in the "women's competitive field" i.e. appearance, charisma, empathy, etc. I would had been in the top 0.000001% of women worldwide and I could have easily been married to some rich guy and live a stress free life on pilates and doing whatever hobby interests me. 

I wouldn't just had gotten a good guy and living a careless life, but I would also be brining pure envy into other women seeing me how demure I dress, how young I am (using Sun Protection Cream since high school), how well-spoke am I, how kind I am with others, how I dominate any hair salon I enter with my aura, etc.  I would be in the 99th percentile and I would be living the Geogrina Rodriguez life.

FUCK IB/PE LMAO Destroying my looks for some bald MD for #empowerement #feminism FFFFF (again, strong emphasis on all the Fs) NO

Yes. They actively discriminate against men. You can know nothing and get a free job at Goldman. Sure you grew up in Greenwich CT and daddy paid for prep school. But it doesn't matter. According to the racist/sexist hiring managers, you count as diverse.

 

If I could start over I wouldn't do it as a man lol
