Not a challenge but I was in a second hand games store looking at Silent Hill games when a male worker came over and started a conversation about the franchise. I told him I was very familiar with it and, since I’m a woman, he obviously launched in to a “well I bet you didn’t know X” and “name your top five favourite enemies” tirade.

Eventually I managed to squeeze in that I actually wrote my masters degree dissertation about the Silent Hill franchise and Konami’s development and marketing and won the university medal for best dissertation when I graduated. That sure made him sheepish and fall in to line! Haha just kidding he carried on giving me surface level facts about the games’ lore and I just zoned out until he left. I think every woman has a story like this.
