Neither the club staff nor the club’s reputable members—male or female—are the kind of people who casually insult or look down on others.
The main reason this happened in the first place is that the woman who posted the tweet insulted men.
Ignoring that and nitpicking over people’s wording is just ridiculous. It’s no different from the sleazy tactics used by trashy mass media.
After considering the woman’s entire tweet and understanding everything the staff member said in response, I think it’s perfectly fine if you decide not to make introductions.
Personally, I don’t want to have dinner with a woman who considers it torture, or with someone who would tweet about it that way. So I’d appreciate it if you didn’t introduce women like that to me.
Maezawa from the Corporate Planning Office here as well.
Having interviewed and met so many women, I spent my days arranging introductions with wonderful men, hoping they would say, “I’m glad I met this person.”
So when I heard those comments, I couldn’t help but think:
“How could you say something like that?”
Do you not understand how much we’ve valued the women? It’s because of them that the men make offers, and because of those offers, the company can keep running.
If any one of those pieces were missing, it wouldn’t work.
It also made me realize just how different people’s perspectives can be when they’re in different positions.
By “different positions,” I mean that people in PR generally don’t meet members or arrange introductions.
Although they work for the same company, in that sense, it’s a department that could essentially be handled by people from an entirely different company. (Of course, since we are part of the same company, the staff do interact with one another.)
From that perspective, PR’s job becomes raising name recognition and attracting attention by any means necessary, so its fundamental objective differs from that of the department responsible for arrangements.
The wording was poor, and I don’t know what impact it may have going forward. Still, if the purpose of PR is to attract attention, maybe that’s simply how it works?
But the people in the arrangements department have a different objective, so they truly value our members.
I think you can feel reassured.

This doesn’t really answer your question, but here’s how I see it…
No matter what people say or think of you, if you have your own goals and steadily work toward them, building up results, I believe there will be people who recognize your efforts.
You should simply trust yourself and take action, shouldn’t you?
I also think it’s important not to let other people’s words and opinions sway you too much.
