This isn't very comforting and I don't want to make you feel worse...so stop reading if you want... My thought was that she was reacting to your age rather than your gender. I think that there is a lot of snobbery around students who are not in the 18-21yr range. (True for you, correct?) Have other Babblers seen this? Although I have not experienced this discrimination myself, I have seen it run rampant at the 4 yr univ where I am now.
Either way, the lady was ignorant, and I have no doubt that you could do anything that you put your mind to!
Hang in there!
Best,
EE
