My husband is the Token Male on our local Extension Homemakers Council advisory board. Now, most of the time, being a "token" participant of any sort is rather offensive. It intimates that the person is not really wanted, or is regarded as not truly qualified for the position, but is appointed simply to fill some arbitrary quota.
Hubby doesn't mind. He's glad to be the Token in exchange for the free catfish and hushpuppies lunch.
