Illustration of what happened to women engineers that didn’t
follow the “status quo”.
What is the first thing came to your mind when I told you I
am a woman engineer? You would right
away assume I either can’t do my job or nowhere as good as a male engineers.
This the “status quo”.
What if I told you I can do the job most male engineers
couldn’t or if any could do? Then right
away you would think that I must be arrogant, bad temperament and attitude.
What if I was well-liked by all; especially top level
management? Until the people from Asia
started saying “no one wanted her; no one liked her; etc” such as Tuan Nguyen and his countrymen/women in the Patent and Trademark Office. I had never met any of these people from Asia in my life. Then suddenly, I was shunned, sexually harassed
and abused until I either had to leave the company, or will eventually terminate.
