i concur we need to be open to people, and team with them based on conduct this remark tends to play into the negative stereotype, which is not what we are about.

It seems to me that Jonathan is a little unclear with Lightbreather's concept....
You are male. You make "safe" spaces unsafe by your very existence. You are not welcome. Go away.
Sorry, well-meaning paternalistic friend, you just don't have the right chromosomes to play.

It would be very easy for us to host a two hour session in London on a weekday evening at the UK offices. I am fairly sure we could get a bunch of admins and others to attend, aside from some of the London regulars who have agreed in principle, a geonotice would likely attract more.
I have no problem arranging the room, putting up a geonotice and being an attendee. However I would need a volunteer to run the session. That isn't just because I'm the wrong gender to run such an event, but at the moment I don't know what changes in behaviour you would be hoping to train people into.
