Getting women together to get their perspective on things, sounds good.
Asking them about things that pretty much all women are asked about, as if that's the only thing they are qualified to talk about, seems counter.
- Mz 10y agoIt is part of a series of Q&As. This is not the only installment. Refusing to ask stereotypically "girly" questions is another form of sexism. Work-life balance is a concern for both men and women. Refusing to hear women's voices on the topic is just as problematic as only talking to women about this sort of topic and nothing else.

But the questions were about making the workplace more family friendly, and workplace dating, which to me, feels like a real missed opportunity to share real insight. I get it though--I don't own the topics of discussion. I was just sharing my perspective. TBH, it doesn't really matter what anyone thinks about workplace dating. In the US, HR have policies in place to prevent legal issues. Full Disclosure: My wife and I started dating while we both worked at the same startup.
