Misunderstanding

2 weeks ago, my college was having a conference themed the Descendii Studio (zeal for learning) about John Calvin. And looking at the topic, you know that this is going to be an all men conference. Niway, i attended it because i thought i need to learn more about Calvin and his thought. And my premonition was right!! It was an all men show - well there was 1 woman speaker at the end and 1 of my female friend came  - but only on the first day, she bailed out on the second and third day. 

Niway, during one of the talk, i was talking to one of this pastor -  about introductory stuff - like what's your name, church etc2. 

And he said, "It's good to see that there is a female attending this conference, very encouraging."

And I foolishly answered "It's good to see so many MEN attending this conference!". Then i stopped talking, thinking that i've just said something encouraging. But then i saw his face......... It's like this disgust, confused and "i get it" face. I knew at that moment that he thought that i were this man-maniac girl, who came to the conference just to see my potential-husband-to-be. 

I then quickly tried to explain why i said that (which is because i'm encouraged to see so many men having the zeal for learning), but he didn't look convinced at all!!! 

ARGHH!!! remind me to think before i speak!!
