How different the woman’s way of dealing with problems! Whereas the male approach is to present possible solutions, weighing their likely impact in terms of company objectives, the women hardly confronted the problem at all. Instead they spoke at great length about their feelings; then closed discussion (seemingly without resolution) by performing some joint activity reinforcing group solidarity.
But… how did this “women’s” group actually… decide what to do?
What sorts of groups were these, anyway? What was the decision-making procedure? (In other words, who had the power to make the decisions?)
These and other details would be needed before any conclusions can be drawn from your anecdote, I think.
