Having a thick skin is an absolute requirement for a female looking to enter the IT arena. I find myself having to prove myself (even after 8 years with the company) to engineers and other male counterparts. Every chance they get at placing the blame on the "IT" department they run with it. I have learned to accept it as a challenge to keep myself in tip top shape and have the good reputation I have. I actually thank them for being the "jerks" for they keep me ahead of the game.
