My partner has a PhD in maths and physics and she absolutely suffers from discrimination in both fields for being a woman. It’s a field full of men who aren’t very in tune in what it means to be appropriate and professional around women, she is constantly dismissed and ignored despite being a leading expert in the world for what she does, and has had men make non consensual advances on her including her having to duck away from men trying to kiss her unprompted.
She knows women who haven’t had this experience as strongly but it definitely happens to a lot of them in fields dominated by men who have very poor social conditioning when it comes to women.
Her experience was actually worse in Europe than the US, too. To the point that she refuses to ever work in a certain country again, which is a shame given it’s a great opportunity
