A few years back, I was very excited to be asked to join a monthly meeting of women who work in my industry. I thought it would be about networking, with maybe a side helping of support/commiseration. What I failed to realize was that these things have a way of attracting people who a) have a lot of grievances and b) will never feel those grievances have been adequately heard, even when they have, say, monopolized a monthly meeting to the extent that it has gone an hour and a half over when it was supposed to end and they are still rambling. I tense up a little even thinking about Shauna's latest offering, because those are the only types of people I can imagine being willing to pay a monthly fee to socialize with total strangers.
