Woman in the industry is it always like this?

Trigger warning of harassment

I 20f am a game designer, I own my own company and I have my own team, I did marketing and negotiation when I was 18 and drop out of community collage, I’m now a game designer heading for a bachelor degree in 2 years. In half a year, learn the hardship of being a woman in a class dominated by men and now i wonder will it always be this way?

In my own class rooms I don’t feel safe, men have harassed me, a guy got close to me face to face wise and put his hand down his pants to you know where while keeping eye contact with me. I had men who I’m supposed to work with on projects leave me out and call me a “sim player.” (Reference to girls only playing the sims) I had men get angry at me when I help them with there coding or nodes. I been followed and insulted, I been cat called by classmates too. Now it’s not just the men but also the woman too, as a woman who likes coding, video games, etc. it was kinda difficult to find other female friend who liked what I liked, but now I’m too scared to talk to any of them. I had girl say she doesn’t like girly girly with purses, meaning me bc I like my purse (it has a corgi on it)on the first day she was boasting about how she the only woman in a class of men, I have short hair plus I want keeping to myself at the time, but she said that she was happy she was the only woman because other woman are too girly for her, when the professor pointed me out, let’s just say the death glare was definitely felt. I had girls that dismiss me and try to talk over me. and girls who see me as competition in the class and try to one up me on stuff.

I have heard stories of woman in the industry having problems with getting jobs, coworkers, and work. I won’t lie I thought it never happen to me and that I’ll make friends with my peers but I was wrong. I’m not giving up my degree so I wonder, will it always be like this?
