You are correct.
The way to understand men vs women in the workplace is to understand that women and men have COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AND INDEPENDENT cultures that are hard wired into us. If we were not classifying species according to sexual pairs we would EASILY classify men and women as different species, the differences are that significant.
Camille Paglia describes it very well (6 min video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzGRChFh4iw
The problem with schools trying to teach boys and girls is that they are not only applying a single communication culture, structure and toolset to both sexes, they are actually teaching using femal social culture, structure and tools which DOES NOT apply to boys. Boys cannot function under female rules, boys are designed to dominate females and require a completely different method of communication and training.
The same applies to the workspace. What you are experiencing is women applying their communication culture, structure and toolset to workplace social problems. They SIMPLY DO NOT COMPREHEND OR UNDERSTAND how men communicate. The wiring in their brains CANNOT comprehend the difference actually. If you spend any time in any work team with a significant number of females, you will notice the following:
All of the men can EASILY imagine and understand the female perspective.
NONE OF THE WOMEN can (or are even interested in) understanding the male perspective.
This difference exists because in our species the males and females have co-evolved where the female social warfare strategies are singular and always focused on her self, while the male structure needs to take into account warfare dynamics which include team membership in a hierarchy, strategy and territorialism which forces the male of our species to think of us more than of him self as men are largely disposable in the service of the tribe. Women are not disposable and have evolved accordingly.
There is absolutely NO WAY to bridge the gap between the male and female culture, and one or the other wins. Right now the female world view is dominant and you are suffering from it.
We all are suffering from it and this has to be overturned.
