Yes, I find it difficult to take authority from a woman. Don't know why. My old boss was replaced with a female one and I find her hard to deal with. I'm not sure how to communicate with women. I prefer working with men because I can just be blunt and say what I think and I don't really need to make small talk with men, they don't mind if I don't ask how their kids are and they don't bore me by telling me how their kids are. I worked in a mostly female office once and couldn't work out the dynamics, I only lasted 6 months in that job. They drove me mad. So much bickering and backstabbing. Men are easier to work with. I just feel more relaxed and able to be myself around men.
