Sexism is a funny thing. Not "ha ha" funny, but like... weird, funny.
Like, as a woman, I don't feel like I've been actively discriminated against personally, despite working in a male-dominated industry and a male-dominated aspect of that industry. But I definitely notice instances in which women are treated differently (like someone was just described as "always being pregnant" when she only has 2 kids, which isn't evil and nefarious, just not something you'd every say about a man... because men don't have babies...) and there are definitely instances of man time, when we have to look for our bosses because they've all disappeared together. But that's not evil and nefarious, just a little bit of a hassle. Like the fact that my computer is slow or the air conditioning turns off at quarter to six every night.
In my mind, because my office is predominantly young-ish and liberal-ish and unconventional[-ish], we'll be insulated from those nasty old school woes. But maybe that's a matter of yet? Hopefully not.
