“I graduated from a university in Spain that belongs to a very conservative Catholic group. Despite being an outstanding institution, it has a very traditional view of gender roles, which has led to an environment where some professors aren’t very convinced about the skills of their female students. That being said, since their reputation is so good, they kind of knew how to play it down, so I was never a victim of flagrant sexist acts, but I did encounter constant microaggressions from a lot of professors.”
“This would include not being acknowledged when raising your hand to answer a question unless you were a boy, getting snappy or dry comebacks in discussions while most of the guys’ answers would be considered interesting or insightful, realizing in group projects that the professor would only address the guys while ignoring the girls, no eye contact from the professors when talking, and being outright ignored if you greeted them in the halls. In general, I am thankful I got a great education. Still, the feeling of playing with a disadvantage just because you were a woman was always present and, therefore, very exhausting.”
