Just a note on women vs. men... I have always worked in male-dominated environments since college, and TRUST ME, men love drama as much as we do. It does tend to get expressed differently, with a lot more aggression, and about different topics, but the most hysterical, unstable boss I've ever had was a man. He would regularly lose his temper and yell at you over nothing, just like a very hairy woman with PMS. Just my opinion.
Of course, I've always shown lots of compassion towards him.
