Right - basically you musn't disagree with a woman, otherwise it is sexism and bullying.

What is your job anyway - how come you deal with so many obnoxious men? Do you also deal with the same amount of women, and they are less obnoxious? Or are there perhaps many more men, and you tend to remember the obnoxious ones.

I have the impression you don't have much self-consciousness either. How does that align with your theory about the world?

Case. In. Point.

It's not really about gender, but rather a confrontational style of communication that can sometimes be not very productive.

I have a tendency towards this style of communication myself, but I've worked towards communicating in a more effective way and it's improved my life (and the lives of the people I interact with).

If you don't believe it, just see how my comment history has changed over the years... haha.
