    Has anyone here had a boss that was openly sexist, misogynistic, or otherwise mistreated the opposite gender? (Male to Female or vice versa). If so, how did you handle the situation?

I've actually kind of experience this with an old supervisor. The situation it puts you in is almost impossible. On the one hand you have almost no connections (and connections are everything), so you don't want to burn any bridges. But on the other hand it is impossible to feel comfortable and actually continue performing/operating on the same level when you feel like you're being harassed or feel like that is a possibility. No one should have to be put in that position. It's pretty de-humanizing.
