Dec 23, 2017 at 23:52 comment added AffableAmbler As long and detailed as this post is, the essence is "quit your job," which, while it may be a valid answer, it's not a very good one and could apply to just about every question on this sight. "My boss is asking me to do something I don't feel comfortable with." Quit your job. "My coworkers are mean to me." Quit your job. "There's no organic lettuce at the salad bar." Quit your job. For all you know, the OP may be perfectly happy with her job despite this one small problem so it doesn't make sense to suggest quitting as the optimal solution.

It would be different if women in that company were spread evenly among different job areas, but since they're all in one place, it's easy to say "Most women are in department X, and this person is a woman, so she probably works in department X." It's probably not sexism, just association/categorizing, which we humans seem to really like to do.

Nov 3, 2017 at 16:01 comment added Gusdor Please edit out the continued mention of 'patriarchy'. It negatively impacts the otherwise interesting contribution, making the tone quite bitter and sounding like conclusions have been arrived at without due consideration. Can you please also describe how to identify if a company properly values female engineers? I'm interested as my department massively lacks diversity and it makes my skin crawl.
