Female and can attest to the fact that this still happens. I would add default mid to low priority Adhoc takers, because we get stuck with Adhoc requests that give us no visibility. 'We' is representative of women I worked with before and that I work with now. Doesn't mean putting it on LI fixes the problem though.
You are not the only one who has seen or experienced this. Thank you for speaking up
There are definitely men (mostly boomers) who think this. I can say this from my experience and of that of friends and colleagues.
My last boss tried this with me when he first joined the company - we’d have leadership meetings and I was the only one he asked to send out meeting notes or follow up invites. I didn’t do it so I think he got the point eventually but point is, it’s definitely a thing.
Joe Biden is not even a boomer... He's older than that.
Definitely the social outing coordinators… everything else is basically determined by rank, but yes 9/10 times it’s women who are organizing the social gatherings
Many, many men. Still.
I’ve experienced this with more clients over the last decade than is excusable or coincidental.
Doesn’t matter what your title is (mine is out of date!), if you look like a young female, you’re often assumed to rank that way and are treated accordingly every time you’re introduced to new people. 👌
100% can attest to this as well. Generally, being an SME on the projects I handle forces anyone trying to BS their way through the conversation go silent because I know they don't know what they're talking about. I hope it wasn't this way though,I don't want to have to go away over someone's head to be heard or make a point in a meeting but my hands are tied.

Men think it.

plenty of people (men) still think this.

My sister was a director at a consulting firm in DC. She was in a meeting with four or five men, all of them junior to her. The meeting began, and at some point one of the men interrupted and said “hang on, is someone taking notes?“ and they all turned and looked at my sister. Even though she has an MBA and outranked them.

Jeez that’s incredible. I hope she added a review on Glassdoor or something
This is still very common.
99% of the time it’s all in their heads.
Ah well that’s good to know and I’m sorry to hear that that still happens. Why do people have to be so shitty?
A lot of people, I intentionally avoid office upkeep stuff outside of my job (dishes, plants, etc) for this reason
The analyst is. I’ve had men and I’ve had women (and been the analyst). It always rolls to the bottom at my firm regardless of gender.
I’ve been told so many times that I’m such a “great note taker” can I please do it for the meeting but this has come from both men and women. Last time, I said that we can record the meeting and they can go back and take what notes they need to if they are having a hard time sitting in the meeting and taking notes.
Ugh, I feel this every single day. No cringe.
