Some of the ugliest sexism I've seen was at the CS faculty in my university. The courses are packed with niceguys and kneejerk anti-feminists.

We had one of our lectors straight up tell us in front of full class (18 ppl: 16 guys and 2 gals), that we are going to use our diplomas as a hot pot stand. And we are here just for show, to hook up with smart guys. Yes, those were his exact words.

Nothing in me or the other girl suggested that we were attending lections to flirt with someone. Especially knowing that both of us were quite diligent students.

He also was very open and proud about him being sexist. It's still baffling to me that people like that exist, succeed, and have a bloody confidence to take pride in their shittiness.

I don't know where this was, but in most places this would be grounds for a serious report. It's unacceptable for a person in a position of power to act like that.

Sadly, considering where I lived (not US, and not EU), I strongly believe that nobody would give a damn about the report.

I'm extremely curious, what country?

Given that she referred to hot pot, I'm guessing SE Asia.

Russia

Oof, sorry to hear that.

I used to work at Google and one of the engineers I worked with showed up to interview a guy from eastern Europe (like 15 years ago).

He looked at her and immediately said "I thought this was going to be a technical interview."

That was the extent of his Google interview, didn't even get the cafeteria lunch.

I gather that guy would fit in a lot better with the Google of today sadly.

Its the pride that keeps baffling me. "Yes I am an asshole! I choose to live like this and if you don't you're dumb!"
