> "But I am female and inherently am untrusting of most praise that comes from men"

So on the one hand, male engineers are creating a hostile environment by not recognizing the achievements of female colleagues (the 'she just got hired because they wanted a woman' phenomenon) but now male engineers are creating a hostile environment by recognizing the achievements of female engineers because of the inherit biases of the engineer receiving the praise.

I didn't say anything like that. This doublebind you are accusing me of bitchily creating is called the human condition. You put heterosexual men and heterosexual women together in a work environment and it gets tricky to navigate. That has absolutely nothing to do with me blaming men, something I generally am disinclined to do.
