Also, I want to know why some people are kept out of conference rooms that they are supposed to be, by default!
So many women, for example, have been left out of global conference rooms and halls simply because they do not fall in the “accepted definition of women”.
I wonder why….

What you don’t understand clearly, I could give you a perspective you didn’t have, right?

That should enable you to sign against something you understand better!
Let us in those rooms now!
