To counter some of the reflex resentment and lashing out - when a population under pressure seeks another way of succeeding, its not always about you. Its not evil or racist or 'reverse discrimination'. You can always tell those things - that's when the favored population is getting all the advantages, again. When the underrepresented population works hard to find ways to create programs for them to succeed, that's just sensible.
The issue is that the population sequestering itself in an isolated working space is stepping away from unity and partnership and backwards towards fear and mistrust.
We learn to work together by actually working together. It's tempting to isolate yourself sometimes, but partnership is more fruitful in the long run, assuming your partner is willing to work with you. I believe it is the case that the vast majority of men are capable of and willing to work respectfully with women in the workplace and are extending a hand of friendship, so to speak.
