The professor and the lab attendent have a low opinion of them. They are considered slow.
One batch is bright and the other, not so. They are given faulty components and the wrong set of equipment. They struggle hard under the given conditions. They receive no help from the attender and they have no independent source of knowledge.
If they were knowledgeable and networked into the boy’s groups, they would be able to recognise their problems and solve them.
Given that there is no help or sympathy for the weak and that it only reinforces people’s prejudice, women need to build on their competence. And on their circle.
Then the same jokers will queue up at their door as beggars.
So for all minorities, develop your technical and organizational strengths, your awareness. Blend in with the non-minorities and do not stick out.
Technical expertise can translate earning power. Proper networking can lead to strengths. You need to make the right, dependable friends….
