i have the same feeling towards people saying "black this or that" whats the point in highlighting the things we are trying to say are unimportant when considering an individual. "equality"

Who the fuck has ever said 'woman engineer'!?
It would be female engineer.
I get this a lot. When I tell people I'm an engineer they're all like, "oh that's so great to see a woman in the engineering field! You're going to have so many employment options!" I don't mind those comments, but it got to the point where if they didn't make a big deal out of my gender I got disappointed, which was stupid. I'd been treated like a special little snowflake for so long that I started to feel like a special little snowflake, even though the logical part of my brain knew that wasn't true. Moral of the story, if you make these sorts of comments to people, be prepared for them to start thinking that they're special just for being a woman or whatever.
Then I guess you won't mind paying back those scholarships for majoring in a field where women are underrepresented. Or you can actually represent women in your field and inspire others to follow.
So she has to represent herself as a woman engineer and not just an engineer who happens to be a woman ? Where the fuck is the equality in that ? Purely by being an engineer who's a woman can inspire other women, but there's A LOT of women who find it off-putting when you advertise something like your sex, race, or sexual orientation. A couple examples would be all the people saying you HAD to vote for Hillary or you were a traitor to your sex/ sexist and just ALL of Amy Schumer.
The point is that there isn't equality in it. It is an underrepresented field, and there is a lot of effort put forth to change that fact. I guess the people trying to change it are bastards for trying to highlight women who have succeeded in being employed in STEM fields. If this is off-putting, then women's history month must be a sheer outrage.
There is equality. Just because there's not a lot of women doesn't mean it's a sexism issue. Would you rather have it be 50/50 with some people hating the field they're in because they're only there for diversity or would you rather have some fields have more representation than other because people actually went and did what they want? The main people I see complaining about the lack of " equality " are people who aren't even going into those fields. You have women who got a useless degree where they majored in women's studies who think they get to tell people who spent near a decade studying and learning to get jobs in their chosen field.
It would be female engineer.
