TL:DR - Challenge people when they are wrong (in a business setting) it doesn't matter if they are a women.

Some Blue-Pill programming of mine came up in a business/community meeting last night. A group of around 15 people were in attendance to reduce the environmental impact of their businesses. This environment is primed for a lot of virtue signalling. 5 attendees were owners/managers, one speaker and the other 9 were from “advocacy groups”. (You can read into these ratios as you wish)

A member from one of the advocacy groups was speaking about some waste materials of an industry I used to work in. I jumped in and corrected her.

When I was driving home, I thought how I jumped in to correct her and started to feel some guilt about how I spoke to her. I was correct in what I had said, but realised that I felt this because she was a women and the previous blue-pill programming was trying to play the “women are special” record.

I thought,” If this were a man would I have done the same thing?” Yes, without a doubt. So I let it go.

We’ve been told that women are correct etc & most people won’t challenge their assumptions. This thinking is wrong. Ideas should always be based on merit.

N.B. At no point did she issue any solutions to the problems we are facing with climate change. Again it seemed to me to be a point of “I belong to X group & therefore I am awesome. Now let me talk at you for 5 minutes.”
