I’ve been in situations like that.
I’ve actually asked if they wanted me to leave, the subjects were so “sensitive”, if you catch my drift. I wasn’t being mean about it. I just asked if they wanted more privacy.
That generally turned things in a better direction.
You know damned well if I and some guys had been talking like that in front of a woman, we’d have had human recources on us within ten minutes.
Things began to change when the feminists started to ridicule the word “lady”. They wanted women to feel self conscious about acting like ladies. This is an example of really hellish cultural Marxism.
