Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.

Rules…

  1. Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
  2. Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
  3. Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
  4. No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
  5. New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

You guys (gals). Today one of the managers of the BUSINESS I CO-FOUNDED, purposely did not add me to a meeting that was for executives because he did not believe I was considered part of the executive team. To be fair, the misogyny was unintentional. But still.

Does this happen to anyone else?

What kind of bullshit excuse is that?

Hope he is being repremanded for that, because that's insanely offensive.

I called him out in front of everyone. He won't make that mistake again. With me or anyone else. 👍

It still sucks when it’s not intentional. I haven’t founded a business, but I sometimes get left out of high level meetings on projects that I’m leading.

All. The. Time.

When I was doing marketing for tech companies in Ottawa people would have meetings about projects I HEADED without bothering to invite me. I quit one job over the frequency of this. And then they were all so surprised at my leaving because it "came out of the blue".
