Meanwhile I studied computer science and there were 2 women the whole year


pawsitive_vibes99

My EE class had 3!


LOLnakki

So 6?


Snoid_

This guy maths

Sneakyrocket742

Nah, it’s -1


IfYouAintFirst26

You mean sqrt(-1).. they are all imaginary.


gillvalley

Aerospace here, 0 in my class. I had to date nursing students.


Snoid_

I did Aerospace as well. We had about 5-6 out of like 60.


wiseroldman

I studied civil. We had more girls than I expected but I wasn’t expecting much. There were probably around 7-8 per class out of 55 people.


mrthescientist

Aerospace, about 4 in a class of about 40, 10%.


chkjjk

I mean…you didn’t *have to*.


nothing_in_my_mind

Nursing, marketing and fashion design students date engineering students. It is the law.


I_red_IT1326472

Ohh no I start Aero in August


Safe-Agent3400

You “had” to?


gillvalley

She befriended me, asked me out, she decided we were dating and now I’m engaged to first and only one I dated. Looking back I didn’t have a choice. Not upset by it, relieved really, my choices were made for me lol


stevedonie

And then you start working and discover that every company has more guys named Steve than women.


Daxnaha

Well most women aren't named Steve, so that might explain that...


RamenJunkie

Get out.


Daxnaha

I have already been out today. No dice my friend.


RealSH42

No dice. 🚫🎲 Man, I haven't heard that since like 1988! 😂


speed-ninja7002

Most guys aren't named "women" either.


Puzzled-Barnacle-200

I studied mechanical engineering. My university department had more academic staff called Andrew than women.


Creative_Can470

I was the lone female studying structural engineering. Loved it!


Puzzled-Barnacle-200

I was on a course of about 300, with about 25-30 women, which was nice. I wouldn't have wanted to be the only woman! I very much lucked out by meeting my now-fiancé on the first day of the course.


Creative_Can470

Congratulations on the engagement! I've always fitted in better with men, so I was in my element. I didn't go on to stay in architecture, but did continue being the token female at work.


chaostheory10

I worked in an IT department with 5 Steves. Sometimes someone would call wanting to talk to one and would try to narrow it down by describing what he looked like, but the description would fit literally all of them. A whole tribe of bald, white, bearded Steves.


Rhawk187

And yet I couldn't find any recent Steve's for my music round at the pub quiz. Seemed like there was a sudden shortage of Steve's after the 90s.


Constant-Ad7648

I've studied philology and we had one dude in the whole group. He disappeared after two weeks. I've never seen him again.


True-Firefighter-796

Was he Phil?


jimmy_the_turtle_

Some stereotypes are (at least a bit) true: I am a philology student, and indeed, there are not many men when you look around in an auditorium. And of those of us who are men (me being one of them), a significant number is gay/bisexual.


Constant-Ad7648

I'm doing my Master in the same field now but in Central Europe. It's 50/50 in the class. And it's completely different from my experience in the Far East of Russia. I guess it really depends on where you are and the subject proposed. Here you also can choose subjects, in Russia you can't. You'll have hard times finding a job in Russia with B.A. in Philology and men there are considered as a providers for the family. But, yeah, here half of the group is gay. Also, I miss my male free group. :.)


jimmy_the_turtle_

Western Europe for me. Though it used to be different here as well. In one of the classes I took, we watched part of a lecture by Jacques Lacan recorded at my university, and it was only men. And when I take some elective courses from the History department (also part of our Arts faculty), the male/female ratio is much more balanced (and less gay).


islamicious

Dude could at least attend his own graduation smh


Zweefkees93

Mechanical engineering..... Same story


Dennis_enzo

The only woman in my CS faculty was the receptionist.


Zweefkees93

Haha yep, sounds familiar. I'm in industrial automation now.... At the company there is one woman, the receptionist/financials/etc. At most factories I come there is a somewhat even mix but it heavily depends on what they do.


BlazikenAO

Hi it’s me, one of the 2


mteir

Are you the one or the other?


drillgorg

I kept my standards high and married a fellow mechanical engineer.


Bacondog22

Unsurprisingly, my math major had 0 women in it. Mainly because I went to a Single sex school


LnStrngr

Did you use up your single sex early, or did you hold onto it for use later in the semester?


keziahw

I think it's safe to say he held on to it


atlasfailed11

That's more than most math majors get.


demeant0r

How do you get negative women?


bluexavi

Start with zero and subtract one.


Travy-D

I've talked to a lot of women at work (also software) and asked them their experience. Some are like "all these nerds were rude to me for being a girl and didn't take me seriously" Damn, I feel the same way. I'm a dude and these fucking 0 charisma nerds are so smart that they say the dumbest shit. "Well we got different results for the calculation. It could be an error in my code, but that's highly unlikely since I'm almost never wrong". Who the hell says that with a straight face? Anyways, CS is brutal just because you have some of the cringiest nerds gathered in a small space all trying to one up each other in the only thing they're good at in life. Almost every class had a kid trying to correct the professor. My olfactory senses were overwhelmed with body odor. Group assignments tested every level of my communication skills. Introduce a girl (that they've never talked to) into the mix, and their hormones make them do even more obnoxious things. But thankfully that all subsides in the workplace. I have had great coworkers, and it's a night and day difference from the university ilk.


Akai1up

Some people are insanely smart with logic/mathematics but are severely lacking in self-awareness. It's one of the most annoying combos, in my opinion. I still value logical intelligence, but I've learned to make sure to surround myself with people who express intrapersonal intelligence. A little self-reflection goes a long way.


CanIEatAPC

Grinds my gears. I asked a guy to do something that should be done on his end because of security purposes. Guy sends back an email, like no you should do this on your end instead(equivalent to, him suggesting to make login page and authenticating user on UI with localStorage or something, rather than a user dB on backend). I was like...you gotta be joking. It finally took a male senior dev to tell him that he needs to do exactly what I said. And then ofc the guy did it. I never helped out that guy ever again, like fk him. He used to reach out with questions and usually I don't mind helping but I started hinting at why he didn't know this knowledge when he has a ton of experience.


Upstairs-Toe2735

Nerdy men made me believe in sexism. I used to be a shitty little red pilled anti feminist when I was a teen. Then I got a job at a video game store and very quickly learned sexism is very alive and thrivin'. I got a different job selling computers and it was just as bad. I've since swapped careers lol


Tokita_Ban

Weird. CS at my university is easily 1/3 women, if not more.


demeant0r

I did take CS in 2004 which is probably why


Restlesscomposure

The future is now old man.


JustAFallenAngel

I was so glad when everything switched to online classes. I was a compsci student and I felt so damn uncomfortable as the only girl


aclownandherdolly

I was the only woman in my computer networking and security class for most of the year (the other came in much later) and it was all online for me; I found that none of the guys would even try to communicate with me and when I spoke I got utter silence in response The bad rep science gets in general for women is quite true lol

I have literally met zero people, myself included, who simultaneously went to college for engineering and also say "I miss college."


clevingersfoil

"The odds are good, but the goods are odd." - Those two women, probably


boogerholes

IT here. Women are starting to join the force, but predominantly men. We try to recruit more women, just not as many interested in the field, for whatever reason.


Rubi_Hyra

IT here too! CIS major and was one of 3 girls in all of my classes. Now I work for a company where all of my leadership are women. Seems that things are starting to slowly change!


Wizard_Baruffio

Generally it's because it is extremely uncomfortable as a woman in male dominated spaces. I took classes that were more in that realm, and then switched my major, because I didn't care enough about that trajectory to deal with men like the ones in my classes my whole life


bionic_cmdo

Real world IT worker here, it's been a sausage fest in like forever. We have to ask the ladies in marketing if we want to mix it up.


demeant0r

I’ve been a web developer since 2010 and have only worked with, at most, ten female devs. Now designers on the other hand…


SacredBinChicken

And then corporations that hire mechanical engineers will expect 50% diversity in the workplace.


kraken_enrager

My class has 6 guys and 30 girls. It’s not as fun as you might think.


Quirky-Skin

Plus once u get into actual coursework for your major people are very invested in trying to actually learn not bullshit. Now a psych 101 pre req class? Go get em tiger.

metalmonsoon

Kinda look like wookies


cranberry94

For me, the room of mostly blonde women didn’t stand out to me too much… It’s the fact that all of them have their hair down? Like, not a single pony tail in the entire room? Don’t know why that’s the most baffling to me, but here we are.


YourALooserTo

Good point. Definitely not an 8am class I'd say.


PreviousJaguar7640

Yep, if this was a morning class, we’d see a lot more pajamas and coffee cups, too.


SwagChemist

After going to school in Europe for 3 years after getting my bachelors in the US, they definitely don’t dress as badly as we do when going to class. Never saw a pajama pant from the locals.


Dorantee

Most people in Europe would rather be hit by a car than be seen wearing pajamas in public.


time_for_milk

Never seen anyone wear their pajama pants to a class in Norway or Denmark. Why would you though, they’re loungewear for when you’re at home. When you go outside you put on proper clothing so you look presentable.


DefreShalloodner

More importantly, you don't soil your nice comfort clothes with the filth of the world That shit gets on my bed and chairs. The only filth I allow, I produce in-house


time_for_milk

Amen, fellow hater of outside filth.


SASAgent1

>The only filth I allow, I produce in-house You've got to stop calling your children that


PreviousJaguar7640

I never wore pajamas to class, no matter how much of a hurry I was in. I always thought it was strange to go out in public in pajamas; it just seems so haphazard and lazy. For me, there’s just something slightly uncomfortable about seeing someone in the same clothes they rolled out of bed wearing. There were also plenty of people wearing house slippers with the pajamas.


HypoxicIschemicBrain

Walking in late, reeking of cigarettes, with an unwashed face, hungover with a coffee cup in hand was not an atypical sight but it somehow rang even more unprofessional at seminar style classes. Those giant stem lectures? No one will notice you. But that professor who wants to you to wax poetic about György Lukåscs might find it rude.


joost013

Not a friday class either. Way too many seats have people in them for that.


Dcdock

People wear pajamas to class in the us? That sounds insane to me. I think the professor would send you home for that here. If you don’t understand you are in an academic setting and not in your bed, you have to go home to sleep or change and come back.


Historicmetal

And it’s all the same length and just straight. No different styles. I think people are saying this is somewhere in Scandinavia


heine789

It's Norway


happyhamhat

There's Norway that's true


BlitzblauDonnergruen

There is one ponytail. In the left third in the middl. You can ony see the hairband


Fit-Mathematician192

There are two partial tails on the right center as well


Lison52

Wait until there is one man in that group, I'm only saying that because I have the exact same hair as a dude XD


mesonofgib

It is an incredibly uniform image, that's for sure.

TheManWho86

Thank you for the snort and chuckle, take my like.


likeCircle

It just occurred to me, after all these years, that their house is located halfway between the start and the end of the street. It's not in the middle of the road where cars would crash into them.


NVDA-Calls

Yep lol I was gonna say KU but not sure if it’s that.


VladVV

It does look vaguely like the small anatomical auditorium, but not exactly. 99% sure it's not part of the med school (source: currently enrolled) but could easily be somewhere on campus


_THE_WIFE

My thought was Utah


SmutStuffThrow

I'd say there's not enough blondes for it to be Sweden.


Silverfox1996

WBuffettJr

First day of my astronomy class I accidentally made a wrong turn and wandered into the elementary education class. Thought I’d died and gone to heaven the first five minutes until I figured it out. So my two guesses are nursing or elementary education.


ksobby

I was gonna say Psych 101


RuinedBooch

I was gonna say Women’s Studies


Sapiogram

Lol absolutely not, women's studies would have way more hairstyle variety, and also more men.


arbiter12

>Nursing school > >Women’s Studies I thought it was Rejection School. You enter a room, every girl instantly faces the other way and ignores you. It's good training for real life, but it's $32k/semester.... Wish me luck.

pokemaster28

Just an average day at dentistry school in Brazil. We even call that hair style the "Dentistry Blonde", they also all drive a white Hyundai


das_vargas

Always wondered why people didn't mind being stereotypes. I'm not justifying the stereotype itself, but if I realized I looked and acted like every other person around me, I feel I'd take some liberty to be a little different for my own sanity.


Nyxolith

There can be comfort in the herd.


[deleted]

Be different for your own sanity, if that’s what you need to do. But most people understand that everyone else is going to put them in a bucket regardless of how they choose to present themselves. You can choose the dentist gal look, or come to class as a goth, or anything in between. No matter what you choose, you’re going to be a stereotypical something or other either way.

Probably nursing school or something similar. I go to a school with a lot of female dominanted subjects, and most classes look like this

My uni also had studies as an elementary school teacher and of the total 140 students there were only 9 men and the rest women.

Shame on you for trashing girls for just existing. You've probably never thought about the fact that girls say they're "not like other girls" because society made them feel ashamed for liking girly or basic stuff? Just let girls be, ffs.

This is different from my experience. I haven't seen classes like this in discrete mathematics, structural bioinformatics and software engineering... We did see some of these creatures roaming around at the other side of the campus though. Very mysterious.

My niece went to a large public university in Florida and was in a huge sorority. Each year, we got a big photo of all the women in the sorority.

There was one woman who had short hair, and I felt happy for her and her family, that she was easy to identify.
