I have worked in businesses with all men, almost all women and a pretty even split. The all men work environments are 1000x better than anything else. All women is the absolute worst, especially if your bosses are women but if it's all women and your bosses are men, it can be okay. 50/50 is pretty bleh.
If I had to work in a 75% female office, I'm bringing a stab proof vest, a bodycam and keeping my hands in my pockets all day. I don't blame anyone for refusing to do that, I wouldn't work with that many of them unless it was at gunpoint.
Because, lets disregard the false accusations part of it, working with majority women sucks. They will backstab each other, screw over the entire team, drag each other down to the bottom, and ruin an entire group for vain feelings of jealousy over a woman whose younger and prettier than you. Men get along, women do not get along with each other.
Come to think of it, do any all-women work environment exist?
Every one I can think of (nursing, secretaries, etc) is a structure where there's always men they're serving in some way that keep things organized - males doctors, male managers, etc.
In the last go around of this in the 70's and 80's women started up women-only businesses. They all failed. Put 100% women in the same office and the entire thing devolves into infighting and empty status signalling.
I get that, you'd have accusations leveled at you and your productivity would go down. I'd rather work somewhere else where there isn't a majority of women.
Notice how they immediately jump to "blame the men for their own victimization" routine.
"Women becoming > 50% of the department creates a workplace that's hostile to men, to the point men are forced out of their jobs and careers" is another way to put it.
I've never seen a job environment where women go from being a smaller group to being the largest group that doesn't end up with an atmosphere like a bar near bar close.
You'd think they'd be happy as they now can hire even more women and become superdoubleplusultra-efficient. I mean, they'll surely thrive without men dragging them down.
Two thoughts: 1. This is success, right? Men are displaced. The men leaving opens an opportunity for women to finally thrive. I'm sure it'll go great. 2. Let's survey the top 15% most productive women in these environments now. I guarantee they're going where these men are, because they don't want to endure the fallout either.
Wouldn't want to work in such a work environment. And would be loath to have a female 'boss'. They tend to overcompensate for their insecurity complexes by becoming completely insufferable and hard-nosed.
You would feel the need to tell her to 'chill', but the temperatures are already subzero.
"3/4 of your department does 0% of the effective work."
"Boy howdy that sounds great! Sign me up!"
Not British, but I just left my previous company for this very thing.
Of course, exit interview said nothing of the sort because I didn't need a rape accusation.

do you know why men get paid more (i know it's debonked)? because they are worth the extra just to get works done.

"He touched me!"
You can't win.

Competent women do the same thing because most women are terrible to work with.

Eh. It can be done. But you must be a boss, and indispensible...
Quick! Someone post the story about an all women tv production company.
