I can't help but wonder if having to behave like this is a component of the glass ceiling? We gals gotta give our ideas to men because they get all offended or dismiss us otherwise...

Very astute.

I haven't noticed this in particular, but I do find that I get ignored a lot more as a woman. All of that is part of the glass ceiling. Guys judge a woman on her looks. If she's attractive, she merits attention, if not, she doesn't, regardless of the content of the interaction.

I feel bad for generalizing to all guys but, there do seem to be a number of guys who do help to keep the ceiling in place...

People still use IE for things other than downloading firefox?

It absolutely is a component in the glass ceiling. That's why if there's a female managed place, I'd much rather work there. They're usually the offices that have a much more diverse bunch of employment and ideas in the work place. It sucks, but it is what it is. You either play their game or walk a dangerous tight rope.
