Did it change it for the better for men?

Female group dynamics favor consensus and cooperation. Men order each other around, but women can only suggest and persuade. Any criticism or negative sentiment, if it absolutely must be expressed, needs to be buried in layers of compliments. The outcome of a discussion is less important than the fact that a discussion was held and everyone participated in it. The most important sex difference in group dynamics is attitude to conflict. In short, men wage conflict openly while women covertly undermine or ostracize their enemies…

These are over-generalizations. Men and women are individuals, not a monolith determined by which sex organs they happen to have. [/quote]

This is silly. Do you ever say stuff like this when all of the articles come out calling women more empathetic and thus more effective leaders?[/quote]

I'm responsible for policing every article about empathetic women because I stated factually that women do not all possess the same personality traits?[/quote]

More often than not men and women handle conflict differently.  They have different communication styles. Again this about groups as a whole, not individuals.  Just because some guy can bench 400lbs doesn't mean all men can bench 400lbs.

Not sure why thats contraversal.  The question remains, has adopting more feminine group dynamics to a formerely mostly male work environment helped or hindered the companies that people work for and how effective men are in those environments?
