We've been working as a staff on vision/purpose for months now. Last week, without any notice, he took all the male staff members offsite to continue the work leaving 2 female employees completely unaware of their meeting. We feel hurt and disrepected. What would be the best (and professional) way to express this so it doesn't happen again?

go to your union or try grievances, a grievance is where you write down your complaint and go to someone higher than you employer
your company should have a grievance procedure

After 13 yrs of service with the same co. my supervisor left and the president had to do evaluations without ever being out on the floor. He went mostly by rumor. He low balled me into the bottom half of everyone. I sat with him and explained that I felt he was incorrect and that he had a specific idea about me due to new jealous employees spreading false rumors. He re-evaluated me and I was in the top third once again. Stand up and confront him calmly and respectfully. Be professional, and he will think twice about letting that happen again. Sometimes women have to do this to earn respect in a mans world. (I am a woman. Cant fix my avatar.lol)

Check with human resources about the company grievance procedures Then follow the guidelines that are specified there if that doesn't work contact your union and if they cant help go for the courts that is discrimination.Make sure that you have sufficient evidence and you are able to stand up for your rights.
Good luck

Assuming that your company has a Human Resources department, you should go to them and file a complaint, informing them that you feel that you and your fellow female co-worker were purposefully excluded from the meeting on the basis of your gender (i.e. gender discrimination).
Did the male co-workers go to any kind of bar or club that caters strictly towards men? If so that would go a long way towards your claim of gender discrimination.

is it possible that he needed to discuss some particular aspect of the project with those staff members;otherwise he is a bit of a pig and you have to think carefully before you confront him

Don't-he already knows!!-that's why you were left on site-nothing to do with your sex-I guess it was to do with your capabilities -know your place in the pecking order-if you don't like it then go work for some left wing council somewhere.Your boss is the boss because he knows better-accept it or move on!!

You should send him a thank you note.
I can't think of a bigger waste of time than a vision / purpose meeting.

I would ask why all team members were not included in the meeting and ask that you not be bypassed for future meetings.

tell him direct but if he disrespects you go above his head. He obviously has too much testoterone to be an effective manager....
