[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Male here - many, many years ago I had a female boss who was disliked by most women and men because she was tough and demanding. She was an early female Harvard MBA and one of the few women in a very senior position. To succeed in a world of men, she had to be tough. I got along great with her because I wasn’t intimidated by her and she liked that I pushed back and it helped I was good at my job. We had many long conversations about managing and leadership and I think I helped her become a better boss and she me. As a PP said, team sports has been very beneficial.[/quote]

That's great, but what some of us are talking about is "mean girl" behavior, which women specifically reserve for other women. The whole point of being a mean girl is to put other women down.  They only do it to other women, so a man will have a very nice experience even with the mean girl boss. Women know what I am talking about, and it is very hard to explain to me who do not understand the deep interpersonal dynamics between women.[/quote]
