你们导师真好！我们工科也一样，尤其是女研究生。用人单位一看你都二十五六岁了，马上就要结婚生孩子了，不能给公司创造效益，所以都尽量招男生。

Your advisor is really good. For us engineering students it's the same, especially for female graduate students. When an employer sees that you're already 25 or 26 years old, they'll think you're going to get married and have children soon, and won't be productive for the company. So they'll try to hire only men.
