LOL — It was some time ago now. But the facilitator was complaining that not enough women were being promoted to high levels in the company. I said, “That is because many of them quit the corporate ladder to stay home and raise a family. So that in itself lessens the odds for women.” They didn’t want to hear such blasphemy.

Then I mentioned to them that my wife was a stay at home mom who made raising our children a priority instead of a corporate career. I was a real problem for them.

But I also challenged every little so called statistic they would throw out, challenging its accuracy, or offering non-PC reasons for it. The guy was really glad when the class was over. And I made it into a fun time instead of the drudgery it really was or could have been.

The great thing about it was my being vocal allowed other men in the group to be vocal too. It really derailed the who class. And all that was required was that we attended.. So I did that. LOL

I basically played it for what it was a joke.
