This Twitter thread reveals the tragic tale of male 'pride and prejudice' when it comes to female bosses

Some of the tweets talked about how, in India, males find it difficult to take orders from a female boss because, of course.

After Genderlog, a crowd-sourced platform on gender, posted a tweet starting a discussion with people asking them about their experiences with female bosses. Their tweet reads ‘On Female bosses…We’re told to fear and avoid them. On stereotypical form here’s an eg…’ with a link to a story by UK’s leading (sexist) tabloid Dailymail.

The report carries photographs of Karen Brady, Vice-Chairman of West Ham United Football Club, Margaret Thatcher, first female Prime Minister of the UK and Alexis Colby, a fictional character from TV series, Dynasty. As sexist as it can be, the report is about how ‘women who reach the top of their professions and are regarded as more sexist than even their most ruthless male counterparts’. It is supported by a survey by a team of psychologists from Leiden University, Netherlands.
What we fail to understand is why just talk about ‘female bosses’, why not just discusses bosses in general? Why did the gender divide come in? Genderlog posted many pertinent questions regarding this topic and people responded, sharing their experiences at the workplace with female bosses. Some of them also detailed how, in India, males find it difficult to take orders from a female boss because, of course.
