      I was still seriously considering applying, but I don’t want to be the only female engineer again. It’s too tiring. I’m too tired.

    Being the only female engineer means always and forever wondering if you’re being treated that way bc of your gender.

      Being the only female engineer means fear of trying new things publicly because failure might look bad for *all* women in engineering.
