First post on this part of mn but an avid lurker. I work for a big tech company. I guess at least 80% of employees are men.
We are at a conference a specialist track within the company so maybe 300 of us there. I know a lot of the people.
We go out for a few drinks, group of 10, I'm the only woman (normal)
This younger dude who I hardly know looks me in the eye in front of the others and says "it's really good you came out tonight"
I saw red and asked him whether he thinks I prefer to stay home and knit. The other men piss themselves laughing but he then took me to one side and started an argument with me about it wasn't a sexist comment he made.
But it was right? I was gob smacked by it.
Question is ....anyone got a better retort? What should I have said or done?
