Hmmm, look I get the how thing about wasting your energy, it just rubs the wrong way the idea of you bailing instead of them changing. They need to change. You bail and they win, they keep doing their thing and driving women away. What you can do is be a force of change, try to get more women hired, organize the women there to present collectively to the powers that be and help them understand that you’re helping them. How? Well, first they don’t want to be perceived as a sexist relic which could damage their brand, and second they don’t want to have sexual harassment or any type of #meetoo incident, if they can prevent it. And don’t just focus on adding more women, but all types of diversity.
Otherwise, keep using your voice, reclaim your time and don’t let anyone, male or female try to dominate you. I would suspect that you’re probably dealing with an age issue, not just gender. Some of these young men need to learn how to be respectful. I’ve got a guy in my office, great guy with puppy dog energy and he would just interrupt to share his latest excitable idea. I had to chat with him about how and when to express himself, and he’s one of the good ones. Sometimes that’s on us to help guide, mentor and teach this stuff, cause how else will they learn?
Don’t give up and if you are thinking of leaving, that’s your call, you know your tolerance, but ignore the advice above and go to the top and let them know why you’re leaving and it’s too late for you but if they don’t change they’re going to find themselves in a mess in the future.
Where would the world be if the minority group just gave up every time?
