I wouldn't now either. Fortunately, my meetings are ALL MEN. You have no idea how verbally freeing it can be. Meetings are a real joy for the first time in my 22 years in programming. Guys have banter, but we get to the point and there is no fluffy stuff. We also don't have to be nearly so "diplomatic" every time we wish to espouse a point.
So, you are assuming that at my meetings we KNIT?
