How is it circular to say women don't get taken seriously when they make a big deal about things that seem minor to guys?

  Of course it seems minor to you, that doesn't mean that it's not a real thing. You have to be mature enough to realize that your perspective isn't the only valid one. Turn it around for a moment. Imagine you work in a mostly female industry. There's something that you, as a man, care about, that your women co-workers don't (I don't know, scheduling you to be on-call during the World Cup finals). What do you do? Option 1: Say nothing, suffer in silence, and feel like they don't know or care. Option 2: Say something to try to improve the situation, and have people accuse you of getting your boxers in a bunch over something minor.
