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 know exactly where you're coming from. I lost my job of 10 yrs over a situatuation like yours. My female manager was hired in above me. At first things were great, until I disagreed with her. Once that happen she totally became emotional at work when things did not go her way. She eventually tagged me as being one who did not have the companies best interest. Just like with your case, she played the role of liking me in the other employees eyes. But would tear me down to the senior manager. I lost my job, and it seems that nothing can be done about it. What can I do? I now have a fear of working with female employees.
