Abstract
Women’s inequality in male-dominated work persists in spite of gender oriented research and equity campaigns. The demands for workplace gender equity are widely accepted but there appears to be little understanding or knowledge about possible reasons for this continued inequality. Based on a set of case studies of engineering workplace culture, this paper proposes that practices of ignorance help to obscure the sexual politics at stake in challenges to gender inequality in engineering workplaces.
