Yes it can be, science has always been dominated by old white men but times are changing and i think we are beginning to get the recognition that we deserve. I hope by the time you guys are ready to get into science that it will be a lot more equal. I am a stem ambassador so i go into schools and try and get more girls into science, its super important!!
I can’t answer this question myself (being male), but I can tell you about the experience of the female scientist I know best, my mother. She has a PhD in anatomy, and she worked in a histology lab at the hospital where I was born. Her boss often told her he didn’t think women belonged in the lab. So she left that lab and went to work at a few different pharmaceutical companies, which she liked much better.
