Something about this book, something I've seen or read too much of which conveys a remarkably one-sided questionable reality: the female as saintly victim, the male as sole predator. Maybe the author had negative experiences, but I recall many instances over the years, directed at others and occasionally myself, by vulgar, obnoxious crude women in the workplace who believed they could and should get away with anything and everything - - for their womanhood - - back to the 1970s. Not quite buying this professional victimhood trip as it excuses far too much, too much in the realm of Pure Identity Politics, which is getting infinitely nauseating as a tool of indoctrination today! [Cannot comment on this book as only skimmed it at the book store.] I also recall at the lower echelons that males were far more accepting of women in the workplace and as co-workers, whether the private sector or the military back in the 1970s and 1980s, than in the Wall Street venue the author describes. [In my very last job, which was evidently in the midst of a management/leveraged buyout - - the worst and sleaziest kind - - the compasny hired myself and a lady when they were planning on offshoring our jobs relatively shortly, brought in a female Hostile Work Environment Specialist to advise management how to shock and insult us into leaving, instead of just laying us off, fearing unemployment collection - - this is becoming most typical in the workplace, and the management was female there, BTW.]
