This surprises anyone? I was engaged to a high achieving woman for a period of time. I loved her, but damn, if I had to work with her, I wouldn't put up with her personality. Very aggressive, pushy, and intolerant, to my mind. Very quick to take offense at the slightest provocation, whether offense was intended, or merely the result of ignorance or incompetence. Then again, I'm a libertarian-minded introvert, so I basically just want to let other people do their thing and have them leave me alone... On the whole, I see the adversarial nature of gender politics that is often pushed as profoundly dysfunctional. Men and women are not the same. Each gender is better at some things and worse at others, on average. Men tend to have more variance, so you see more male geniuses and male idiots (the tails on the bell-curve are bigger), where women tend to cluster towards the mean more strongly. If we could just accept this, and spend our time trying to be happy, rather than demonizing each other, the world would be a better place.
