I've started to realize that women really don't know how to interact with men at work.
Basically, because we treat them like men, they see that as cruelty. We treat them as men so we don't really take thier feelings into account, and occasionally joke with them with a bit of crass humor. Then they act cruel and rude, so men get pissed off because they are being treated like garbage, and women then take that as a form of bigotry against women.
It's like:
Tom: "Sarah, do not re-arrange widgets in the Rockwell Encabulator. I don't want to have to bring this up again."
Sarah: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to!" :(
Jacob: "Yikes, you might have fucked the dog on that one."
Sarah: : (
Jacob: "Listen, sorry, Sarah. I'm just joking around. We'll do better next time!
Sarah: :' (
... weeks later ...
Sarah: thinking: I now know how to act like one of the boys. My training is complete.
Sarah: "Hey Tom, stop being a fucking retard and put the widgets in the correct order."
Tom: >: (
Sarah: "What? Don't be a little bitch about it."
Jacob: "Uhhh. Sarah, is everything alright?"
Sarah: "Mind your business shithead. Tom's just being a little bitch and making everyone's life worse with his presence."
Like, men and women can work perfectly well together to get stuff done, but not so much when the natural flow of communication and reasonable thought have been so totally disrupted and sabotaged.

Particularly this.
