Nor me. On the subject of sexism that would be other people such as women, for example.
But I don't think the Women's Symposium is to do with discrimination as such, I believe it's more about the atmosphere of a women only event and giving space and freedom of expression to women (by no means all of those attending the event) who would find the presence of a significant number of men somewhat inhibiting.
The testosterone-fuelled dickhead at the wall (or the gym) is like the loony on the bus: there's always one - look around and if you can't see him that probably means you're it.
I clicked on this thread just knowing there would be male voices questioning the need for a women only event. It's a little bit tiresome tbh. Suck it up boys, your opinion doesn't matter - there needs to be a women only event until *women* are saying it's unnecessary.
