All my life, i've been a "tech woman". if anything like that actually exists.
i've been criticized for liking things that are "more for men". be it gaming, be it computers, or be it studying a STEM career. "friends", family, even my own parents, have made fun of me because it. that doesn't feel good.
it's great to be able to write here, where online strangers can commont on it, and even if i get harsh comments, it seems more possible to get empthy from here than from rl people. real life "friends" i've had seems to be with me just because, they have criticized me for liking gaming and for the decisions i've made for my life.
have you ever been criticized for liking some hobby? for studying something you feel passion for?
