My original point was going to be to ask how to combat this within science fields and if you've ever witnessed anything of the sort, but then I got side-tracked towards the root basis so my question got warped. It's definitely a problem in engineering too, especially when I worked as an Environmental Engineer for a few months. One interesting part of that article to me was that perpetrators are more likely to be superiors which could speak more towards a lust for power or desire to assert superiority and reaffirm their position. Has anyone here had a boss that was openly sexist, misogynistic, or otherwise mistreated the opposite gender? (Male to Female or vice versa). If so, how did you handle the situation?
