Interesting theory. I've had two female bosses in my life (heavily male industries). One, was a Leer who was promoted. She was a nice person who stayed being a nice person. Then, one day, a switch flipped and she went from vested team leader to horrible manager. She even had one guy arrested for DUI when he wasn't even working. But she heard about it and called the police.
Another, more recently, became very disgruntled and created a hostile work environment when I started receiving all the praise for how well the department was being run. As her immediate supervisor told me, "This whole dept. would have fallen apart if not for you." Apparently they were fully aware of strengths and weaknesses. She tried to get me I to trouble and HR sided with me. At that point she said my very presence in the office threatened her.
Her last gambit was, "the guy is scary." With no proof, evidence or witnesses that I'd been anything less than professional with her. But, once she was "scared" HR had no choice.
I've had good and bad bosses who were men, too. More bad than good.
So, Minnesota would rather people not be able to advance themselves without the officiating organization paying a fee, first? Do libraries have to pay a fee to lend books? Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/
