Yuuup. Woman in engineering here. I once had a supervisor whose behaviour I thought of as normal, but two guys I worked with separately reported him to HR for bullying after seeing how he treated me.

It's funny, I had many years with almost no career progression, now my boss is a woman and I'm having to get used to the idea that bonuses and promotions are things that actually happen when I work hard.

Yeah, that's the thing, the majority if guys are OK or better ... it's just there's enough arseholes to hold women and minorities back when there's no or unenforced DEI
