  Like most of your other questions, this appears to be a veiled call for validation in feeling annoyed at and superior to your coworkers.

  Sometimes it’s not all the other cars on the motorway driving in the wrong direction.

  Is it company policy to be part of the “hive mind” (your words, not mine)?

  Doubtful.

  Is there a decent chance that they experience negative things you don’t because of gender?

  Highly likely.

  This isn’t about guys’n’gals.

  This is simpky about how people work:

  If your peers have an opinion (any opinion), their expectation is that you share that opinion

  You can demonstrate solidarity by agreeing - this is virtually always the safe option.

  You can demonstrate backbone by disagreeing - this can generate respect or animosity.

  You can refuse to weigh in - this tends can go either way.

  How it actual shakes out in reality will depend on a myriad of factors, many of which you’re not even consciously aware of.

  Thus, this random internet stranger can give you only three pieces of advice:

  • Trust your instincts on how to handle this. Your subconscious is very well wired to navigate social situations as best as possible.

  • If you ever change your opinion or “change your opinion”, announce it clearly and give/make up a reason. People disrespect people who are inconsistent, but they respect people who can admit to mistakes / learn.

  • Sometimes, you can’t win. Sometimes, someone will be pissed off, no matter what you do. It’s no fault of yours, some situations are just not salvageable to begin with.
