Could it be that this man has no backbone, and no person female or male
will respect a subordinate who is a passive-agressive backbiter.  I
infer this by the fact that this person chooses to remain anonymous -
won't even put his name on his own opinion.

	I personally have had the opportunity to work for several different
superiors of both genders.  Some were good and some were bad, but there
seemed to be no gender correlation between competance and incompetance. 
My own management style draws heavily from a manager I respected very
much and sought to emulate.  That manager happened to be a woman.  She
was competant, level headed, open minded, very understanding but with
high standards and strict expectations of performance.  Her industry
knowledge and experience was extensive and only surpassed by her "people
skills".

	Another thing I've learned over the years is that if I have a problem
with my boss, he or she probably has a problem with me.  The best
approach is to find out what that problem is, clear up any
mis-understandings, and adjust my behavior to conform to or exceed the
expected standards.  Yet another thing I've observed is that an attitude
begets an attitude.  If this "gentleman" conveys a poor attitude about
women, and especially female superiors, he will very likely get a
negative reaction in return, thus creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.

	So gentlemen, it must be told: leave your chauvenism at... well, you
better burn it 'cause if you leave it at home your wife will have a bone
to pick with you as well.
