That happens to men who are considered experts in their field as frequently, statistically probably more frequently. Men get asked more frequently, and are absolutely ignored by everyone that asks them constantly. I'm a jack of all trades, a master of few, and a doctor of some, and 95% of the time that I am asked for my analysis in business or politics I present a masters level thesis, and get paid a ridiculous amount of money to do so. So far, because my analysis has consistently claimed for 334/336 contracts that their proposed ideas would cost them money, they decided to pay my fee and ignore my thoroughly sourced analysis.
Sure, ignore men too. But sexism is real, a woman's advice is more likely to be ignored or yeah, not asked for at all.
I'm sure your conclusions were ignored. But not because of your gender, it's because they didn't like what you had to say. Buddy, I've seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears. As "one of the boys" men feel comfortable telling me things like "I'll never let a girl fly on my endorsement" ( this person being a flight instructor). And "Is there a different mechanic I can talk to?" Before she even gave him a diagnosis. Or flat out ignoring a really good suggestion in a meeting at a brand new school I worked at. Only to have a male colleague suggest the same thing an hour later to praise and action. Shit's fucked.
