Hola!! Ladies, this piece of news is especially for you, a new study has found that your health might get affected while working with men. Researchers from Indiana University Bloomington found that in industries which are highly sex-segregated such as science, tech and engineering, 'token' female employees showed chronic dysregulation in their levels of cortisol, the stress hormone.

Earlier research has shown that 85 percent women face several challenges while working such as social isolation, sexual harassment, colleagues' doubts about their competence, and a glass ceiling when it comes to promotions. "We find that such women are more likely to experience exposure to high levels of interpersonal, workplace stressors," researcher Bianca Manago said in a statement. An increase in pressure will make your body vulnerable and lure myriads of disease towards you.

There will be a moment when you will be dejected and burst out with frustration. This research provides enough evidence to prove that women’s health is severely affected. Our project provides evidence that the negative workplace social climates encountered by women in male-dominated occupations may be linked to later negative health outcomes for these women, Professor Cate Taylor said in a statement. Indirectly, the above research says that working with men is bad for your health.
