"Why women prefer male bosses" (on Irish national broadcaster's website). I don't know whether this bias exists or not, but if it does this article, not surprisingly claims it's not female bosses' fault. As usual, the finger is pointed at men & the solution is more needs to be done to help women

MORE needs to be done to help women? Uh...we built the entire modern world to make women more comfortable, more empowered, more educated, richer, healthier, lengthened the woman’s life expectancy...I mean we can do more but can you give us a few Millenia ?

Ugh. I am a man,but even I prefer male bosses. For all my life I have seen like 3 effective women in high positions of companies where I used to work.

And you know what? Their behavior was mostly the same, as of a male bosses.

It's probably because male bosses are more likely to be bosses by promoting on experience and merit, whereas female bosses are more likely to be promoted to meet diversity metrics and/or before they're prepared to lead.

Then you have female bosses who never learned how to deal with people and just assume their ineffectiveness is sexism against them.

I have a management position where I work and when I was risked to leave office and be replaced by a woman, my female colleagues begged me to stay because they were terrified of taking orders from the other female candidate. My opinion on this is that there are no beta women, they are all alpha candidates, men had to overcome it millennia ago in order for their genes to survive.

And thats one of the things I always tell my friends, the illusion of patriarchy comes first from this female complicity. If the daughter, sisters or female co-workers do not behave, she will threaten to call the father, the boss, the school principal, the policeman, or god. Woman grants authority to men because the female competition for the prevalence of genes does not allow granting it to another woman.

Because they're terrified of being beta.

Of course they always go around it and mask it in every way, but in order to maintain feminism they will inevitably be forced to touch this issue more and more, putting us guilty whenever possible of course, until a day when the snake will inevitably swallow its own tail.

Many woman I've experienced in leadership roles, the power always seems to go to their head. It's not like the world isn't full of horrible controlling men bosses too, but something about women having power over others seems to bring out a sort of cruelty you never see anywhere else.

The aggressive micromanagement making you look over your shoulder to see if she's coming, the impossible demands that feel like personal attacks, the constant meetings to solve minor problems and huge list of rules that get in the way of work. Not to mention the secret police of colleagues who report to her every perceived transgression behind closed doors. Often got the impression I was being treated as the enemy or a useful idiot instead of an employee or colleague.

Maybe it's' because of the "drama bullshit"?

Slow-Brush · 2021-12-09T22:17:32+00:00

I am guy and I prefer male bosses also. On my last job, I can vividly remembered when I had to work under a female boss, JESUS! I tell you man, she was larger than life, she behaved like an owner of their own company and mind you, I was working for a fortune 100 company.

Long story short! Here's the irony, 7 months after I left the company, the company's senior VP which is a woman, fired my former boss 🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅

Female bosses act like douchebags and "hanging judges" because they think they have to "prove themselves", in a stereotyped bs perspective that it's a "man's world". It's not some fake-ass patriarchy that radical feminazis would have you believe. The higher one gets in the hierarchy, the more hyper-egalitarian it gets, to the degree that some people who shouldn't be anywhere near management or supervision of others are, in fact, managers and supervisors. This is through nepotism, favoritism and a variety of other -ism's that turns work into a hellish nightmare with HR. I've experienced this on multiple occasions, never with a positive end result. I even ask who my supervisor will be, listening for the name to infer the likely gender, during employment interviews. I'll avoid female bosses like the plague, if humanly possible. If I can't avoid them, I'll ask for WAY more money, to offset the inevitable increase in "neuroticism from above". Female managers suck at inclusion, communication and letting ANYTHING be "water under the bridge", escalating every perceived insult or infraction.

Men bad, women good.

sleepyJoeBidet · 2021-12-09T17:22:07+00:00

Shhh. Any behavior issue is automaticallynoat patriarchy.

Drugs - patriarchy BLM- patriarchy Crime - patriarchy Cancer - patriarchy

Its amazing that women's studies has come up with a unifying social theory that explains all problems and will solve word.

Girl_Dukat_ · 2021-12-09T15:15:04+00:00

Hah! No it’s not men. Women bosses suck.

TheSnesLord · 2021-12-09T17:11:19+00:00

Women will definitely prefer male bosses now due to how men have been fear-mongered into to walking on eggshells around women.

2wicky · 2021-12-09T22:37:20+00:00

The worst boss I've ever had was at one of my first workplaces and she was a woman. She managed to turn the whole office into a toxic workplace in less than a year. It taught me an important lesson. Only work for companies with a healthy workplace environment.

Since then, most of the women I've worked with in leadership roles have been anywhere between avarage to being exceptionally good at their jobs. What I have noticed time and time again is the women who are really good at what they do and deserve to be promoted to uppermanagment roles tend to bail. They are the ones most likely to secure a successful husband allowing them to downgrade to a less stressful job or do something completely different.

Another thing I've noticed is when the competent women are given the space to define their role or set an agenda within a company, most will focus on setting diversity and inclusion policies, which companies love, but career wise is a dead end. They just end up opening the door for the incompetent women to climb up the ladder.

Men bosses tend to be more chill in my experience, and most importantly, appeasing to women employees. Women conflict with each other.

But again, blame men and destroy everything.

vague_obscenity · 2021-12-09T19:39:55+00:00

I'm a man and I prefer male bosses. I know women who also prefer male bosses. Women in leadership positions often have a chip on their shoulder. They have somethkng to prove, they also tend to be moody, erratic and vindictive. I don't want drama, that's why I like working for men.

riverview_man · 2021-12-09T16:12:06+00:00

Women are more emotional and empathetic whereas men are more logical and reasonable. There's a reason why men are the primary bosses and CEOs in companies. I'm not saying women can't think with reason and logic, I'm just saying that's not how women are wired to think.

t-D7 · 2021-12-09T18:47:25+00:00

It’s satire at this point.

Normal-Yogurtcloset5 · 2021-12-10T01:26:03+00:00

I think we can help women by giving them more jobs in all areas of life. So, let’s start approaching women to work as roofers, road crews, sanitation workers, sewer workers, construction, welders, carpenters, etc. There are relatively few jobs at the top but there are lots of working class jobs that pay good salaries that women could do. Unless, what they really want is economic and political parity with elite males and not the rest of us.

Nathaniel66 · 2021-12-10T06:24:31+00:00

My mother (retired now) who is 100% feminists (in negative way) when we talk about glass ceiling or wage gap admitted herself, that she'd always choose a male boss over female. Also, she was offered a managment position many times but there were mostly women in her department and as she described it, the was no way that she'd deal with all the drama they bring to work.

Blendr_rendr_bendr · 2021-12-09T17:28:38+00:00

That's interesting. I'm a guy and I prefer women bosses.
