Why do my managers ignore me and give more work to my colleagues? Am I so bad or is it because I am the only man in a women dominated field?

I would ask the manager, say you want more work or something. At least shows you want to.

I have initiative to do extra tasks, but otherwise, they prefer to delegate to other colleagues

It's important to reflect on both personal and external factors here. First, assess if there's any feedback on your work performance that needs addressing. Communication is vital; trying an open discussion with your managers about your workload and expectations might shed light. Gender dynamics may play a role, but maintaining professionalism and proving your capabilities should help in minimizing such biases. Focus on building relationships and demonstrate your value through consistent, high-quality work. This approach often leads to more balanced task distribution.

They don’t look into my eyes when talking to the group or they interrupt me while talking. Unless I speak up, they don’t listen at all. Or unless I say something which is not exactly what they expect to hear

Definitely an item to bring up at the next performance review or push back softly until then or ask for a meeting and get it all out in the open if you can't wait that long

And what exactly is the problem here?

[Asker]

Because my input doesn’t matter to them

Women not listening? Get use to it!
