Please don't misrepresent me. Wanting ONE safe place on-line for women only (which is what I want) is not the same as wanting no men anywhere where women are (not wanted by anyone, that I've seen) . Besides, isn't this thread about diversity training? Did it change to talk off a women-only space? If so, I missed that segue.

Carrite/Tim, are you a men's rights advocate?

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.
