A Gentleman's C: In which I am vindicated.

Anonymous said...: On many many many occasions at a conference, I will be walking with a group of men and we will be having an interesting discussion or argument about something, they will veer off into the men's bathroom, still talking; I wait outside, they emerge, talking about something COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. I ask one of them "What happened? How did the discussion turn out? Did you agree/disagree about X?", and I always get told "I don't know" or "I'll tell you later" (which never happens later). OR, one or more male colleagues will say to me during a conference "We decided X. Don't you remember? Oh that's right, we were in the restroom when we decided that."; 11:56 AM, September 05, 2008

The large question is one of ccurtesy and makeing sure that there is a way everyone is included and allowed participation.; 8:15 AM, September 09, 2008
