I think if you're worried about woman calling you out for being a dick, you're probably worried because you're a dick to women.

People aren't malicious in my experience unless you give them cause to be.

That's very much not my experience.

Some people - not many, but enough to be a concern - are simply toxic. They're not reactively toxic. They're as toxic as they can get away with being with as many people as possible.

They don't respond to deterrents or analyse career or personal risks rationally because they just can't help themselves.

Oh to be young and in a growth industry....

I've seen so much backstabbing and malicious behaviour from men and women in the workplace. All it takes is bad economic times.
