In two of my prior jobs I had women superiors (I'm male), either as a direct report or group head; in both cases the end result was that we could not get along. Even other co-workers and higher ups could not understand why. And always their tracks were covered with acceptable to good reviews of my peformance. Its just our personalities were incompatable.
I will be interviewing for a position where my direct report will be male but the group head is a woman. While the job seems right for me based on past negative experiences I am a little more than wary.
Before the women on this board label me a Neanderthal and misogynist, maybe someone male or female can offer some advice as to what to do and how to approach this. I have had great women co-workers and bosses but the few bad ones have left me "traumatized".

I think the book You just don't Understand is horrible.
I've had male managers that loved my work, but would be upset if I didn't obey ORDERS.
I was suppose to jump just because he asked me to.
I've gotten along better with female managers, but the cut throat ones I didn't.
Any manager who yells at you one day, and is your best friend the next is the WORST.
