The article discusses how some women engineers frequently face unnecessary questioning about their qualifications, highlighting a pattern of sexism in professional settings. A woman shares her experience of being repeatedly asked about her engineering degree, unlike her male counterpart. Additionally, another woman talks about living with prosopagnosia, which complicates social interactions, especially when a friend insists on showing her countless photos of people, despite her condition. The challenge lies in addressing these issues politely while advocating for oneself and maintaining friendships.
