Well, when a guy challenges the status quo with a new idea, what happens is exactly what happened today: all the other guys are like, great idea, let's do that! No challenges to his credibility, no requirements for citing evidence, no accusations that his ideas are based purely in anecdote. Am I bitter? Not really, just kind of really tired of it right now. I'll rebound eventually, once I get back to my usual place of not-caring.
I would've said I've yet to see a man defend a woman's idea, except that another coworker spoke up in defense of my argument during that same meeting. So there was that.
