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.

    So to rephrase: Female IEEE members say they *feel like* they face significant discrimination in the workplace, including comments that *they think* are demeaning , job-interview questions *that they feel are* inappropriate, and *what they they feek like* exclusion from networking events and important business meetings.

    You not woke yet? It's all about feelings, appearances, and unconditional acceptance of the crazy to virtue signal how tolerant we are.
    The people actually doing the work can STFrightU and get back to work. Until they are replaced by AI.
