Male dominated career but I'm actually happy how it's working out for me as a woman.

Male dominated career, 75%, no jokes. I've never been big on women empowerment. I'm pretty much the tomboy that gets along with the guys. Alot of comments below are saying this post is anti-woman but I just like to share my real experience and observations.&#x200B;<br><br>I'm a woman on a male dominated career, and I have to say, it's working out well for me so far. I don't think women need special treatment but they do need fair treatment, and I have to say, I'm treated very well at work. I'm doing well, I'm paid well, I have no issues being taken seriously, I get along with everyone, etc, etc.<br><br>I've been doing this for years and I have never felt the need to play the victim card. I have never felt the need to hide the fact that I'm a woman. I work hard, I work a lot, and I do a great job. I have no issues with credit. I do need to work on negotiation but honestly I'm just not into it. I'm happy with what I'm paid and I hate telling people what I want. I hate confrontation, period.<br><br>Most of my coworkers are dudes, obvi, and we're all cool. Sometimes we have a little bit of fun at each other's expense but it's never personal and it's never mean. They're respectful. I'm not treated like a child or a girl or whatever, I'm treated like one of the guys. I don't have a problem with being treated like one of the guys. I just like to get along with everyone.<br><br>I don't do girly stuff. I'm not into makeup or shoes or dresses but I do like to look good. I dress nicely but I don't really do the whole "girly" thing. I'm not trying to be a guy though. I am a girl, I'm a woman, and I have no problems with that. I'm pretty much just a tomboy, and that's fine.<br><br>I have no problems with dudes in general. I don't have any problems with other women but honestly I've had more problems with women than with men, but I don't really see that as a big deal. I just find it weird. I don't have the same level of rapport with women, but that's fine.<br><br>I do have some problems. There are some people who don't take me seriously. Some people think I'm too young. Some people think I'm too little. I'm 5'0 and 110 lbs so yeah I'm pretty small. I'm also pretty young and I also don't really look my age. I've had people assume I'm in high school. I've had people ask me if I'm 19. (I'm actually in my mid-twenties.)<br><br>Sometimes I have problems getting things done. I need help, but I don't mind asking for help. I have no problems asking for help, and if I do need help, people are very willing to help me. There's no problems with that.<br><br>I do have problems with some of the physical aspects of my job, but again, I don't mind asking for help. It's not a big deal. There are some things that I can't do but there are a lot of things that I can do. There are some things I do a lot better than others. I'm not the best at this and I'm not the best at that, but I'm really good at this and I'm really good at that. I just find someone else to help me with what I need.<br><br>I honestly don't really see being a woman as a problem. I don't see being small as a problem. I don't see being young as a problem. I don't see being pretty as a problem. It's all just part of my daily life.<br><br>I don't like to play the victim card. I don't like to blame other people. I don't like to bring other people down to make myself look better. I just like to do well and have a good time, you know?<br><br>So yeah, I'm a woman in a male dominated career and I'm honestly doing pretty great.<br><br>Edit: Thanks for the awards. Appreciate that. I honestly wasn't expecting this to blow up. This is my experience. It's pretty simple. I didn't expect it to be that big of a deal. I thought I'd just share it and that's it.
