Female Gender Stereotype Questionnaire

[Diend]

Imagine you are in a science class and the professor asks a particularly difficult question. A few people including yourself, raise their hands to answer the question.
How concerned would you be that the professor might not choose you because of your gender?

Imagine that you have an oral presentation in a very important course. After everyone gives their presentations, the professor announces that he will post the grades outside the classroom.
How concerned would you be that you might receive a lower grade than others because of your gender?

Imagine that it’s the first day of your science class and all the students must create teams to work on projects throughout the semester. Most of the groups are already full except for a few groups of all males. How concerned would you be that you might not be welcome to join one of the remaining groups because of your gender?

Imagine that you were just accepted into a graduate program. Your advisor for the program is a senior male professor. You meet your advisor for the first time on the first day of classes.
How anxious would you be that the professor might treat you differently than other students because of your gender?

Imagine your boss and a few of the other men in the firm are going out for drinks to a local bar after work.
How anxious would you be that your boss and your colleagues will not invite you to go to the bar because of your gender?

[Hellhound]

I'm not concerned about any.

Care to explain what is this questionnaire for?

honestly, these aren't areas where i am concerned about gender stereotypes or inequality.

where gender stereotypes are more of a problem are in media, advertising, marketing to children, getting hired, what position you are hired for, unequal wages, unfair treatment, sexual harrassment, laws against what i am allowed to do with my body (abortion).

Those situations wouldn't really concern me, for the most part, although being the only female in a group would feel a little awkward.

One thing in particular that concerns me is the expectation that I should be more social, friendly, and kind just because I'm female. Maybe I over-think that, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who feels that way.

 

[Aletheia]

My study and work were in very male dominated areas, so I got used to all of the above, and it never occurred to me at the time to be concerned.

But I do sometimes fret retrospectively that I might have been given better grades / pay rises / plum assignments than others because of my gender, but then I'm insecure about my abilities and good at twisting things up in my head.

 

[Starry]

I wouldn't be concerned or anxious about any of them.
