I know a woman who constantly grouses about her "very sexist" workplace. The only way to rise at the place is be a member of the "Boy's Club". A woman like her is just going to be treated like a secretary, and never given a chance to succeed.

I once mapped out her organization and chain of command. It's matrix management, and somewhat complex. But I did learn that she has 13 people above her. Two of them are men. She does not report to the men, and the men are very much in the middle, not running the show.

I showed her a diagram of this so-called "Boy's Club" -- 11 women, 2 men -- and she said "You don't get it ..."

Although most women I know say that women bosses are harder for women to work for and impress than men bosses.

Speaking of which, I found all the women bosses I ever worked for to be difficult, and I'm a guy. They always seemed to have deep insecurity issues.
