I’m being tongue in cheek as I’m an engineer myself, but there is a certain type of person who is overrepresented in the career and leaves a bad taste in people’s mouths for us.

There’s also a misogyny problem within the career that many women have picked up on

Cheers, thanks for the explanation.
