First of all I would like to state that I have nothing against a woman being in the position of authority neither am I intimidated by a woman in power, i just find it easier working under a male boss than a female...in my experience female bosses tend to be extra mean and very extra bossy and it can be irritating. I feel like they think people are going to take them for granted because they are women and so they put much effort into appearing tough and mean.

what are your experiences?

There is nothing wrong with female bosses. The issue is most of us have upbringings where we are wired to expect women to be quiet or in the uttermost, agreeable.

It is more about our normalisation and to take direction from women or report to the same is untypical and this often colors our interaction.

The woman understands this very well, she had similar upbringing, that it is a society where competence or achievement is secondary to gender and she has to respond to this hostility by sometimes being defensive; sadly other times, she comes across as difficult or demanding.

But if you are competent in what you are assigned and diligent as well and respectful as well- to everyone. You may overcome whatever insecurity there may be, as often the insecurity is from you, the man.
