Voice your concerns, respectfully.

Present alternate situations, respectfully.

Let whoever you speak/communicate with know that you are constructively criticizing the idea, not the person who thought of it/is pushing for it.

Be prepared for some people to tell you you are being "disloyal" and "resistant to change" and "promoting disunity."

But at the end of the day, you will be glad you did it. Our orgs are in the business of strengthening and educating women - and strong, educated women speak their opinions, even when they are not always popular ones.
