I've met a lot of whiny guys, too, but they are the minority compared to guys who do not whine like babies over every little thing.

(Of course it's not all females, it's the majority of them.)
I believe this post is quite overly dramatic, catty, vicious, backstabbing and whiny.
It must run rampant through the work place, of course not all females, it's the majority of them........


Working with women is no different than working with men when you learn to separate work life from personal life, even if those one works with have not learned how to do the same.

Do you need a safe space?

There are some women I work with who have to relate in graphic detail all the female problems they have. I tell them to curb their hormones and I really don't have a desire to know how dry their hoo haa is or their upset that time of the month makes them look fat, etc. One stuck her butt in my face and asked if its too big. All I said was to get that fart maker out of my face.

What's the deal guys? Why do so many men have a problem with female co-workers or bosses? Even my best friend who's ultra liberal and super laid back says "if he could avoid working with women he would." I just find that odd. Most the women I've worked with have been both competent and profession.
My wife hates working with women.

I never heard ANYONE say that, and I have been in the workforce all my life.

I don't hate women by any means. I'm a momma's boy. And my favorite people in this world, are all women.


With that said, the idea that men and women are more-or-less equal is downright absurd.

And honestly, men are overly patient when it comes to women, and hold them to a different standard(a lower standard). I always tell my friend, if there was ever a man who behaved like a woman, he would get popped in the face.
I'll never forget in my college days, I had a girlfriend at the time and whenever she and her friends came to a party, they would be very catty toward the other girls that my friends brought. Conversely, whenever my girlfriend's friends brought other guys to the party we would end the night laughing and backslapping these guys like we've known them for years.

Sounds like you have a problem that needs attention.


Never heard a guy complain about working with women. Complain about an individual woman but not women in general.

More than one woman has confessed they do not like working with other women, especially in a female dominated office.


tough for many women to fit in with a female dominated organization because of coworker atttiude.


Always supported women in the workplace, hoped it would change the culture....just the opposite happened.


Female sr dir and vp.....


"She walks to the side of the hallway and always looks down".....


"did you see what she was wearing, Stirrup pants! you need to talk to her!", said the senior dir who a week later was wearing stirrup pants.


"she dresses like a *****, you need to talk to her" said the female senior director in a major US corporation.


"Oh look we got her! she takes at least one sick day a month off. Sr Dir, well no we can't use that because I take at least one sick day a month. The company owes that to me."


Sr Dir and her fav call me in to complain about a certain she someone...they were spewing innuendo so I asked for examples of demonstrated behavior and they had none....demanded I give her a bad eval. I go to HR, who betrays my confidence, I prevail and become the target of the sen dir and vp.


On the other hand, it proves that gender does not make a whit of difference, it is the individual, no matter the gender.


Unfortunately, the feds and SJ activists falsely advocate diversity of physical characteristics and pretend that it equates to diversity of ideas.....it does not!


It is the culture of the individual workplace that makes the biggest difference and unfortunately with the feds having influence into business, the companies bend over backward to coddle those whom they should normally discard, to create a hellish and inefficient work environment.


Men would not dare besmearch a woman co worker in today's corporations.
One guy hands out Hershey candy kisses, a woman complains she is offended, goes to HR the guy gets probation.


One male sr dir, gets a price break on some books, "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff ...for Women", thinks he is being a nice guy. He never read the book which is one of a best selling series....woman had complaint about some of the content and he earns a visit to HR.


Small sweat shops are a different story and a thow back to 19th century attitudes.

I believe that SOME women can behave more erratic and do less work and get away with it. SOME women I have worked with have used their sexuality to rise in the company. This is not to label all women. Most women are pleasant and do their job. Just my opinion.......

I haven't had too many issues working with most people on a large scale, men or women, because I'm not a judgmental doofus.

Sounds like you need to start associating with different men, honestly.


I can't think of a single man I've ever known in my 41 years on this Earth that has uttered that sentiment.
