Our company launched a women’s group that they strongly urge us to become a member of. I declined. I find it insulting.
The programs include. Career path and development. Mentorship. Personal branding. Learn how to impact the bottom line.
It’s a group for women to be exposed to resources and reach our full potential. I guess it was started because some women don’t like the fact that many of the management office are occupied by men.
Why is this only for women? Everyone should have options to expand themselves.
I personally never felt discriminated against. Sure there are some ******* male bosses that treat women crappy but it isn’t the norm.
If a man gets a job over a women it’s in most cases because he was more qualified. Also men do make better boss’s in my experience. Women are too emotional. I’ve seen many breakdowns at work from women but not men. I’ve never experienced a man crying at work.
I bet you if is a men group created in the first place, people at work would rage at how racist this is, but when the women form the group, it is ok. You know...I'm just saying, not against any particular group.

1. Check the policy. I'm sure men are allowed to join. So no problem there.
2. If your management is predominantly male, it would appear that men are already being developed enough for the top roles.
3. Can men quantify numerically any problem with male representation in your company?
4. Do the men look around at current leadership and think that people like them may not have the opportunity to advance? An idea bolstered by real, quantified numbers?
5. If the majority of leadership is men, what issues do men have? Apparently the current system is working for them.
It would be more accurate when describing a group of people, i.e. women, to say many women are too emotional or some women aren't good bosses. You are offering your opinion based on your own personal experiences which does not make it a fact. Labeling is never a positive indicator for anyone.
I actually do mentor a small group of young women in my field because there are not a lot of female engineers or patent agents at our firm, but happily, a larger number of female associates and partners.
The whole purpose of mentoring programs is so that everyone truly does have the option to further their career and acquire the skills to do so. Women have generally not been given those opportunities. It is not always about being a "boss" or a "manager" necessarily, it is having the opportunity to excel in one's field and not being overlooked simply because one is a female.

My guess is because women often face a different set of obstacles in the workforce than men, particularly working mothers. It can be a valuable resource to women who are trying to navigate their careers, while still managing a healthy work-life balance. If you don't find such a resource useful, don't participate.
Please support that statement with data. Otherwise, It's useless conjecture.
OP, aren't you a low level customer service worker? Do you really understand the dynamics of high up positions? That's not meant to be offensive. There are different dynamics at different levels that you may not be aware of.

Sounds like it's a great opportunity for some company-sponsored professional development (which is what I would take away from it). If you do some professional development and add it to your resume, that might garner some responses to your job applications.
However, if you're offended, simply don't participate.
