There's a woman that I work with here that hates female bosses. Our office manager, a woman, doesn't put up with this co-worker's whiny bullshit - hence her general poor opinion of ALL female management. The previous male manager listened to her whine and cry and usually gave in. She can't separate gender from management style. As for being "feminist", it has taken on a negative connotation. I was telling someone that I thought men and women should be paid the same for doing the same work. He said "oh, you're one of those 'women's libbers ' ". He meant it as an insult.
