I am often chided for always being right. I am unsure of why people think that being right all the time is a bad thing, but hey, who am I to tell them something different.

When I am wrong, tho, I will often pretend that I forgot the question or situation, which ensure that my being right all the time streak continues.

I am a man right? We are always right.

Except when we are wrong.

I assumed that BlogHer would be a bunch of women that were mixed in this manner:

- 10% real “business” women, who understood the importance of the internet in furthering their businesses.

- 60% women who blogged for fun and went to a few conferences each year. These women all kinda know each other from various conferences and would rather clique-y.

- 29% women who came because they were friends with someone from the previous two groups.

- 1% men. Most are either husbands/boyfriends or folks (like me) that work for a company that would like to learn how to present our product to this group of women.

In some ways, I am right about that.

But, what I didnt expect is: Thats not a bad thing.

Women are different then men. I am right about.

But, what has been the most interesting thing for me, is that women in large groups are exactly the same as men.

They share. They learn. They meet. They support.

Thats right, ladies. That the dirty secret of what we men do when we are in large groups.

You know what we also do? We consider women as accessories, while we men “do business.”

Which is exactly how I feel today.

But not in a bad way. I have a lot to learn from the women around me. I am right about this.

BlogHer allows women the proper comfort zone in which to speak freely and openly about issues that have no gender lines (entrepreneurship, depression, bipolar, etc.) or things that are specific to women.

I feel like a 6 year old again when I would listen to my mom with her friends talk about their issues of the day. Where I found myself learning new stuff every day (did you know that there are specific times when wearing white pants is bad? Me neither.)

So, what am I wrong about?

BlogHer is not a tech conference. BlogHer is not some exclusive place for women where men would be treated as afterthoughts, as intruders or unwelcome.

We may not be celebrated for our attendence but we are allowed to learn.

Which is fantastic. I am right about that.
