Based on my experience in GAG, I believe that most of the males on this site are right wing. Most of the females are left leaning moderates. Hardly anyone is progressive.

I also think that most males on GAG are racist like Trump and do not support Affirmative Action or policies of inclusion. Most males on this site certainly do not understand racism and discrimination. Instead they just make excuses for it.

This particular instance is along a long list of bullshit I have seen working for a "business" promoting social justice and dignity for all.

I can't go into too much detail about the company as I am considering taking legal action against them for a list of different things. Maybe soon I can go into more detail.

But now to the question asked...

I was told there was a meeting with a woman in a position of authority at my company.

Roughly 20 or so women were there and 3 men including me.

At the beginning of the meeting I was offered tea or coffee and asked to take a seat.

I watched a presentation and after 10 minutes raised my hand and asked "will we have a chance to ask questions atthe end"

The response was "Yes of course"

When the presentation ended 90 minutes later I asked a question she didn't like but it was a genuine issueI felt needed addressing and I was told

"I thought this meeting was only for women"

90% of the women present were from a different department but one woman was from my own department.

If she had said "this is for X department" to me it's a different matter entirely.

But as it was explicitly stated it's only for women that indicates the colleague from my department was welcome but I wasn't just because she is a woman and I am a man.

Do you think like I do that this is an open and shut case of Gender discrimination?

If it happened the other way around with me demeaning a woman I think I would have been instantly fired.

Surely if the meeting was only for women I should have been informed long before it got to the stage where I was to ask questions about the presentation?

There were multiple chances to inform me before then.
