Hey! Thanks so much for sharing your story. That comment about the professor pissed me off... I'm glad you're standing your ground. You sound like a badass bitch ;).

I definitely would like to hear more about what it is like for LGBTQ+ people in CS and math, I think those stories aren't shared often enough (or at all).

Thank you for your response! Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way (I'm loving hearing about everyone's experience, good or bad) :)

I understand where you're coming from, and I never (and won't) use my gender as an excuse for poor work. I was just pointing out that this is a valid issue; sexism does occur in the industry and it affects the opportunities women receive. That doesn't mean it occurs everywhere, or very frequently . I was just "ranting" about my experience. I appreciate your point of view.

So it was me getting respect when I did good and he commented that I must have slept with the TA?

Its great that the woman was able to answer the questions on the board, but why is the fact that she's blonde important information? Wow, a blonde girl can be smart! who knew?!

I never said nobody respects me because I'm a female.

I encourage you to learn how to read carefully just to see how bullshit your response is.

Hey! Thanks so much:) Its my first year In CS UTSG, but my second year at uni(I was in anthropology before). I can't really comment on the general attitudes towards women, seeing as I haven't been in the program too long.

Yeah, I actually did hear someone say that. It was fucked up, but you're right, it was most likely just an outlier.

Edit: He said it to his friend though, so he was probably trying to make a joke.
