The alternative was to play things by their rules or according to their lights. They would not adopt my ideas (or listen to them!), so I played along where it did not interfere with my methods and kept my ideas to myself. You choose your battles. Outside the department, my input was always valued and I was quite unused to that. Nowadays, my younger colleagues -- male and female -- are concerned that I won't be around with my common sense ideas, my ability to cut through the blerty blerty crap crap poo. ;) To be fair, men in previously female-dominated fields may experience something similar.

Barbara: it's interesting, though, that you had to slip below the radar and 'do your own thing in a lower, but persistent key'. Sue (again): I think you've started a new online bbccp group ;-) HM: as many comments as you like – always welcome.

Of late, the gender balance has shifted and I am more of a wise woman than a trivialized, wild one. It feels good for a change. I adopt the same stance with respect to "blerty blerty crap crap poo" -- whatever, just don't get in my face or I'll explode and it won't be goldenrod.
