It's happened to me but more in the context of discussing political issues where I'm told to go do some dishes and be in the kitchen where women belong. It's odd that someone would say that to me considering I want to be a stay at home mother. I've hardly met a man that disagreed with my choice of 'career'. As for my friends, I have no reason to believe they lie to me. I don't doubt there are women like Omarosa in the workplace but that's not every woman. There are things a man can get away with that a woman can't and not be called a bitch.
And there are things a woman can get away with that a man can't and not be called an @$$hole.
But you already knew that. Also, older folks can often get away with things that younger folks cannot ... one must earn the right to be a pinhead.

Maybe it's themselves they are lying to. One rarely sees one's self as a villain.

Absolutely agree. But it is the majority of the women who trot out the concept of "fear of strong women" being the cause of their workplace woes. If they were such strong women, in the admirable sense of strength, they would overcome by merit or move on to where quality is appreciated instead of whining.

Yes, men and women are different. We employ different tactics. Some women employ masculine tactics extremely poorly, then wonder why they aren't getting the same results as men seem to. Yet, they wouldn't have any trouble spotting how silly a man looks when poorly attempting female tactics.
