Dive Deep into Creativity: Discover, Share, Inspire
I have a sister who's an engineer. I told her an anecdote similar to this with engineers coming up with eugenics to solve an issue. Her response was "well, they were told to solve the problem, and they did."
I'm also studying to become an engineer in a different discipline and it means joining clubs with a bunch of (cis) men. I talked about my interests in embroidery and crochet. I'm taking shirts this summer and altering them and adding designs to the top. A guy in the group called it "weird" and then mentioned his girlfriend having similar interests.
I didn't participate in the club at all this semester.
