I can relate to this. Not all women, but most women. I work in an office with 12 women. I had the hardest time in my first year there because I did my work and didn't mingle much. I had never dealt with such back stabbing-eat-their-own-young witches before. I prefer to work with men. I get along with them a lot better and feel more comfortable joking around with them. At my current job, I had went off on 2 women within 1 day of each other because I had found out that they were talking trash about me and they didn't even know me because I didn't talk much!
My last job, I worked at a chemical plant and loved every aspect of it except the 3 women that I worked with at different time intervals. They were rude, catty and psycho! I even had one woman steal my work which was locked in a desk and she was the only other person that had a key. A week later, the work showed back up in the exact same spot where I had left it. Pissed me off because I had already retyped everything.
I have work in a hair salon, too. The women there were horrendous. This is why I don't have very many female friends. Aquaintaces, sure, but not friends. I don't trust them as far as I can throw them. My best friend also deals with this where she works (hospital). I've just never worked with a bunch of women and with the being women civilized.
