Don't ask.... I just had to ban someone on a Facebook group (I got called a Whore and various other nasty thing). Someone asked a tech question about setting up a server for their new business. They don't need a server but he quoted out a Massive Dell server with SUPER expensive licensing etc. I back tracked the conversation and asked why they thought they needed a server. They need backups(sold them on Back blaze) and a place to store files (dropbox) and a CRM (zoho). Just saved them mega money. He got pissed off that a woman should never give IT advice when they have no clue.....
It doesn't matter what your gender is. If you can do IT, then you're proficient in my book. I'm sure there are plenty of women out there smarter than me in IT. Just blows me away that there are other men that are just narrowminded like this just because you were born a certain gender.
I run into this at least on a weekly basis. We have clients who will try to go around me on all kinds of stuff to talk to one of the guys. It's the nature of being a women in IT (ok honestly it's the nature of being a female in the work world).
Yea, but it shouldn't be so...

I would love to say that it's because of your Marketing background, but unfortunately I see that Snubs sees and says the same thing.

Accept my Background is IT just haven't done actual IT in a long time cause I do marketing now.

Technically, in this case, the issue is that she's doing the IT and the other person is just doing sales. The underlying issue is putting an IT person on a call with a sales person.

It might be. I played it for free from a site that also doubles as a FreePBX test host

Ah SW, where just pointing out that someone's person has value gets you called condescending. I'm not sure many people know what condescending means. I'd point that out, but it would be taken as being condescending.

Still trying to make them see the light? I take it that you're not grounded anymore.

Me: Does [this type of business checking account] have a limit to the number of transactions you can do before a fee is assessed?
Phone rep: [2 minute long explanation of documents needed to open a business checking account]
Me: /sigh
