From ieee

Female IEEE members say they face significant discrimination in the workplace, including demeaning comments, inappropriate job-interview questions, and exclusion from networking events and important business meetings.

Those were among the most common negative experiences reported by more than 4,500 members—associate member grade and above—from around the world who answered a survey IEEE conducted in 2017. The results were released last year.

Almost half of those surveyed worked in academia, and about 30 percent were from private industry. The rest worked for governmental or nonprofit institutions, or were graduate students or self-employed. The majority of respondents (65 percent) lived outside the United States.

    Or, maybe I've got a point, but you're too pussy whipped to admit it. Women engage in literally all the bad behavior that they accuse men of. The only difference is that women are apparently not capable of being adults even though we expect all men to be.

    It's rather telling that you had to resort to name calling.

    No, the dude was right. You are an incel. A dickless n00b. And that girl at work still isn't interested in dating you. Deal with it.

    When someone is an asshole you stop talking to them even if they sit on your dick from time to time.
    There isn't some niceness threshold that will make women sleep with you any more than you'd suck a dude's dick just for being a bro.
    I don't know what it is that has got this raging nice-guy syndrome going in the us but it's way out of control.

      Lol you realize that your grammatical structure makes it sound like you got some dude bouncing off your dick right?

      Being a charming asshole is very different from being a misogynistic asshole. Misogyny only gets a pass from people with massive insecurities or daddy complexes. Usually they find out the guy is a misogynistic asshole later and they drop him faster than an incel meeting a feminist!

      Amusing how you call being a decent human being "raging nice-guy syndrome." That syndrome is actually what creates most incels, they try-hard to be "nice" but no male or female is attracted to someone obviously pretending.

      It is possible to be a nice guy without being a push over. You don't have to swallow someone's bullshit to be nice. Maybe you should suck some more dicks, might give you a better perspective on life.
