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".

They are usually insecure and hard to get along with.Most of them rule and make policies with the swing of their own emotions.In other words, you better off calling in sick when their moods are swinging.Most of them are gossip mongerers and love to prove to everybody that they are the boss.They want to prove to their male counterparts that they are tough and so they show to everybody that they are hard-assed and unfriendly.I am a gal and I don't like them at all.I don't understand them and I refuse to understand them. I figure they are so insecure in the men's world and they try to find courage by being tough to the rank and file, the ones that they know can't fight them back.
