[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is your colleague's gender relevant in this?[/quote]

Because of his history  -- to long and detailed to have originally described in the post.   Diminishes women, holds "guys only" meetings.  Literally uses phases like "gentlemen's agreements" when describing how he's worked something out with a male colleague…and routinely reprimands female colleagues for their "tone" in meetings and warns them not to sound "witchy."  (When, by any objective measure, they are well within the normal bounds.)

I am at his level and in a different division so most of this doesn't impact me directly (but his treatment of women is clear).  As far as my experience with him: recently, he worked with a male colleague to  to create a presentation that impacted and referred to my division without speaking to me about it, soliciting my input, making me aware that a presentation was in the works at all, etc.  It was a classic locking out.  So, part of my presentation was making sure that I presented the relevant information about my division in my own words/voice.

Listening to the audio of my presentation was a case study -- his repeated interruptions, etc.  Probably all too detailed to make sense on a board like this, but if you choose to, trust me…this guy locks women out, takes credit for their work (in a way he does not with male colleagues), dismisses women, schedules male only dinners, happy hours, etc.   Really.  And, yes, this is allowed in our company.  A bigger problem, I know.
