Every woman in STEM is well aware of the sexism that continues to persist in its various fields. Natalie Carter (@natalieecee), a math major in college, told TikTok about a time her calculus professor undermined her intelligence on the basis of her looks. She didn’t brush the comment off—Natalie confronted her professor and proved him wrong by the end of the semester.
“Basically, I was a girl in STEM. I’m used to facing sexism everywhere I turn,” Natalie said at the beginning. This shouldn’t be the case, but it’s an indictment on the current state of the world.
