The women and men are just alike crowd. That works until XX needs someone's ass kicked or something heavy moved. Or they get cornered on a tough decision in the boardroom and then here come the waterworks. I've seen it ALL.
I’ve watched a project manager for a large ERP system (who was a woman) break down into flooding tears and ugly, shriek crying over being pressed on a question about a completion date for certain modules. She did all of this in front of internal executive staff and external staff from a large software company.
She’s still with this organization, although on a different, smaller project. They couldn’t even fire her over that because they are afraid of the repercussions, yet they had no problem firing one of our internal developers because he spoke out about all the waste and mishandling that was occurring on the same project.

I’m so glad I am no longer there.
