I disagree. The meetings I attend are 95% women. I've run into this twice and both times it was women.
The first time I simply did not go back and still haven't to that particular group.
The second time, I simply did not know how to handle it. It was clear to everyone around the group, they were thinking exactly what I was. I was unsure if I should say something, but I am still the newbie, so I felt like the senior members should step up and say something.
I never thought about visiting with them afterwards. I think that would be very uncomfortable for me personally because I am so new to it.
I think the old timers should step up to the plate here.
