As a female (now 68 and retired) who spent most of her adult life working in a variety of male-dominated fields, I’d have to say that I experienced more work-related harm from men in positions of authority who took against assertive females like me who challenged their authority than I did from women. But for sheer nastiness, and attempts at silencing, the women were much much worse. They just weren’t in positions of authority.
FYI, to the extent this is a pelto thread, when I lived in Denver I knew Chuck Pelto (and his wife) and never had any other than pleasant interactions. Well, I thought, anyway; can’t speak for them.
