1. It's plausible.

I've worked for women before and they treated me pretty well.

However, I've seen this kind of bullying by male bosses toward male subordinates. I haven't seen it directed at female subordinates (flirting and arguable harassment, yes - but not bullying). I suspect that fear of legal retaliation may have played a role.

I have seen female supervisors who, for lack of a better word, have a chip on their shoulder which they use to justify all manner of antisocial management, and reward subordinates who adopt the attitude.

What's wrong with controversy?
