This also happens to men all the time. One dude at my company is an asshole to everyone, but actually more of an asshole to other men. This exact pattern happens to me (man) as well. Women more gently critique your work and men tend to be more harsh. I actually am the opposite way when reviewing a woman's work because I'm terrified of coming off as sexist though, whereas I'm not afraid to tell a dude his code is stupid.

I doubt that it's because you're a woman that (most?) men behave that way. It's more likely that they just work that way with everyone. I mean I've had heated design "discussions" with my team more times than I can possibly count.

What are your thoughts on brain nutrition and/or supplementation? I know that DHA (i.e. fish oil) is supposed to be very beneficial. What about other supplements (various choline supplements like Alpha GPC, l-theanine, uridine, etc) or nootropics (racetams and noopept)?

I've also noticed that exercise, specifically of the cardio variety, seems to give me a quite noticeable mental edge for most of the day. Is that just due to the increased alertness from the increased heart rate/circulation, or is there something else going on there? How important is exercise for preventing age-related brain diseases?
