Working in a place where technology is the heart is tough for a woman. I am no genius when it comes to technology… everything I know is from learning and being constantly told the answer over and over again. It’s hard having that constant customer who automatically assumes that you don’t know because you’re a woman… they don’t bother with you, they walk past all the females and talk to the first male, they make it difficult for you to understand them so it really is hard to answer their question… it’s difficult to be around. It is the year 2010 and women are becoming more acceptable but it will never be 100%. I am a firm believer that my gender has nothing to do with my intelligence and what I am capable of…. it has to do with me… but that it has nothing to do with just me because I will always be a female and therefore I will be pushed into the female gender. Therefore what I want more than anything is for females to stop making it difficult to rise to the top and for males to stop assuming that we can’t rise to the top. 

Today I was told, “Can I talk to a guy because they know more than you.” 

I knew the answer but I wasn’t even given the chance.. and the worst thing is that I was told that by a woman. She assumed that I didn’t know because I am a woman… so what does that say about her? 

I don’t mind it… I mean I do a bit… it hurts my feelings, it makes me angry, but it drives me… maybe it means I have to work harder and I’m ok with that. To be blunt I wish some girls would stop playing the dumb card to win the affection of a guy and instead try having an intelligent conversation that is stimulating… and quit blowing it for the rest of us.
