Maybe the women in the room will learn from the experience. You spoke for them when they did not.

I agree with those who say make notes, keep records. He may just go underground and make sure you are not around when he says things like that. He may decide to retaliate later.

Be the woman all those women in work places need.

Thank you for what you said and did.
