Men's Group

But, there is little recourse for women bullying male subordinates, at least from a support standpoint. I had a number of females in my leadership group when I was in the corporate world. One in particular, who is now a city councilperson in a fairly large Minnesota town, was extremely hostile towards men that worked for her and with her. She was also extremely hostile towards me being in charge. No man could do right and no women could do wrong. We would talk it through and things would get better for awhile and then it would be the same old routine. Eventually I left for other pastures, so to speak. She subsequently blew herself out of a job after I left. I remember her op-ed's in the paper while she was employed. Subtle digs at men, her employment, and employer but she mainly focused on local issues.

As a board member of a smaller company in Maryland, we had two women on the board. One was hostile to everyone and anyone, men and women alike. That chip she carried was so large it wouldn't fit through the door, but at least it wasn't gender biased. She had it down though, and I mean how to dictate narratives. Always on the attack, never in a defense posture. I learned a lot from her by just watching her in action. She didn't live in a caveat world like I feel one has to here in cyberspace at times.

I think men are less likely to pursue legal retaliation because it is such a rare thing and patriarchy unwritten rules in societal upbringing tells men to cinch up their boots and not whine.
