I don't know what it is all about, or if it is even going to be anything more than a few guys with sour grapes. I dealt with a company owned and operated by women top to bottom. Had a few male warehouse workers among the 20 or so women. They were in commercial flooring and a pretty big business. The guys had most of the contact with us and they all seemed fine and dandy to me. I never got the impression that the few guys felt like they were discriminated against. When we closed the location close to them, we lost the business so I don't know what goes on there now. I can assume discrimination can run both ways, but it is quite rare I believe.

HOSTS: This may create controversy, so if locking or self delete is appropriate let me know. I just want to get perspective if I can and discussion. Not looking for the political angle, but rather the men's angle.
