"As with any confrontation, you always think of ways you could have handled it better in retrospect. It would have been more polite to ask for our friends’ endorsement before marching into the kitchen (Sorry Luke! Sorry Jen!). And as my better half noted later, my comments might have had more moral force had they not been a request at all. I could have simply told him that we weren’t going to sit there and listen to him abuse his employees and that we were leaving. Once I dressed him down in front of his staff, I imagine his manhood suffered enough that he had no choice but to kick us all out, lest he lose face. Perhaps a woman should have gone to talk with him instead, one on one."
