> From my point of view, I would avoid approaching a group of women talking by themselves since I'd be the odd one out. Women in male-dominated workplaces already feel like this every day. I would submit that, while it is important to be cognizant that there are cases in which you may be intruding[0], the overwhelming majority of situations that's really not likely to be the case. It's work. You're working. Joining co-workers to talk about work is fine and overthinking it will bite you.
