Noting how if two women are talking to each other at a conference, it becomes highly unlikely any guys will walk up and join us. If three women are talking, forget about it.

I would feel intimidated walking up to a group of women because I might be criticized for anything I did. And wouldn't a woman feel intimidated walking up to a group of men too?

Yes, and that's part of the problem to solve.

And it's hard enough for me to approach groups of men, let alone groups of women.
