I'm also surprised by such a large percentage. I suppose that the problem of having a "work meeting" is that some workplaces are very uneven - i.e., management position is only hold by men.

I think the questioning might have also been strange. How would you even phrase it?

"Do you think it's appropriate for a man and a woman to have a private work meeting?"

Sounds like a way to lead to no.

But if you asked, is it fine for two people to have a private work meeting together, and (follow up) what if they were different genders?
