As a white male, why would you expect to experience the mindset that is specific to women?

Perhaps you do encounter it, but just think it's so normal that you don't even recognize it.

The most obvious example I encounter is: a woman who may be of average or above average attraction, and the assumption is she is not an engineer, but instead:

a. Marketer

b. Sales

c. Social Media Manager

d. Community Manager

e. Office Assistant

Further examples--attractiveness means a woman got where she is because of something other than her technical ability.

Or even that attractiveness is even relevant at all.
