"In my experience, women are far harder to work with than men."

Good opinion piece here. Well worth reading it all. Excerpt:
'In my experience, women are far harder to work with than men. Men don’t give you a crap task because they’re jealous of your shoes or mistrust you for months because you have good highlights or stand about “nursing her wrath to keep it warm”, as Robert Burns put it. Sometimes women don’t get jobs because they’re not very nice.
...
Few women are prepared to make that kind of sacrifice. This is entirely their right and good on them. However, it is surely both dishonest and intensely stupid to apportion blame - in the form of so-called corporate discrimination - to what is essentially a completely personal choice: power versus being there at bath time, conferences versus the park, business trips versus getting home in time for homework, giving “110%” versus sleeping more than five hours a night.'

I have to work with a lot of
I have to work with a lot of women in hospitals and if I compare them to the men I work with, the women are much more challenging. Case in point, if I have 5 nurses trying to come to the consensus of what they'd like in our product, I'll get 5 different answers and all think they're entitled to their own individual needs. Contrast that with 5 men, get in, get out, don't waste time and the decision is made.
It's abundantly clear that the women all think the world revolves around them. No wonder the divorce rate is 50% today.
Stereotypical Working Woman
I have yet to read an article that described a typical working woman/mom other than some snot nosed upper management executive type that occupies a position of vast authority in the business world. Where are all of the women who do the "grunt" jobs in the workplace? Those that are not in executive meetings all day or jetting off to some exotic locale for a weeklong business symposium? They all seem to be Chiefs and not just plain Indians! Apologies to Thundercloud but he knows what I am saying.
