I even worked with an agency to get me a job and they were absolutely dumbfounded at how every single opportunity resulted in me being turned down.
When I was applying for a ultrasound tech program, I had met their pre-requisites, scored a 4.0 GPA and during our yearly meetings (did this for 3 years while waitlisted) was told outright that their program has had difficulty with men getting the required experience on the floor and that I was "Very intimidating." A term I've heard for so long.
