To the men who don’t ‘understand’ what being a minority means, imagine all the teams you were ever part of in your whole career were 78% women, or all women even (except you), and the leadership team straight up from manager to CEO were *all* women too.
How’d that make you feel?

Imagine actually working hard, putting in the effort and long hours for months, sacrificing your mental health & family time for the promise of a promotion at your annual review, only for the promotion to be given to to a woman who didn’t work half as hard as you did.
Imagine that every time you speak, a woman speaks over you *every single time*.
But not only that, she’ll also repeat what you *just* said word by word and be applauded for it by all the other women im the room.
You wouldn’t feel invisible, would you?

Imagine being excluded from important information you need to do your job, because you didn’t go to a yoga class after work hours as it’s not a ‘guy thing’.
Oh wait, that’s right. You weren’t even invited so you didn’t really have a choice. Exclusion feels so good, doesn’t it?
