Okay, but do you have any evidence or experience that Oracle is "testerone-y", nevermind "outwardly" so? To generalise an entire company, a kind of global one

  Do you do business with them in any capacity? They pay a lot of money to build that persona. Unreadable this, unbeatable that, sailboats, fighter jets, etc. I was in a meeting when some SVP dude called on us. His big story was how when they bought Sun they hit their target for shutting down EMEA Sun operations, but in doing so fucked their customers and they couldn't ship product for 3-4 months. It was pitched as a "good" story. I have no idea what the culture is like inside. I'm exclusively commenting on how they portray themselves to people sending them bags of money.

    Doing shady business is not "testerone-y", it has nothing to do with genders. It's a business tactic, a scheme, etc.. > Unreadable this, unbeatable that, sailboats, fighter jets, etc. A company stating it's "unbeatable", has "sailboats", or whatever, again, has nothing to do with "testerone". In fact, you'll find that for ever rich male CEO/owner of a company with a sailboat bragging about it, there will be a rich female CEO/owner of a sailboat bragging about it. You may have been mixed up since there are less female CEO's, so it seems that it's a "male thing", but really, every study shows that when but in the right position, females and males will do equally fantastic, or horrible, or stupid things. I think maybe you need to make things less about "male vs female"?
