It's a meritocracy, no matter what gender you are

"A woman came into our conference room yesterday and she saw five men sitting there waiting for her. She said, joking, but not really joking, "I see no women in here at all. Why is that?"

Everyone looked around, saying nothing. Then I said, "This place runs strictly on merit, it's a meritocracy, no matter what gender you are."

"Are you sure?" She asked me.

"Why would I lie about that, we're proud of it," I replied.

She stared at me for a few seconds, then she sat down and said, "Can we get started?" The meeting began, and it went fine. And we bought here product because it was superior."
