I think that’s because some women emulate part of what they view as male leadership (aggressive), without also having other aspects of male leaders.

I had a leader who thought it was acceptable to say things like, “hey losers let’s get this work done” through email from her office, trying to emulate a male leader who would say, “hey losers let’s get this work done” and then help physically do the work.

The same thing happens with male leaders who try to emulate the charismatic bully type of leadership too, but fail.
When male managers are poor leaders and the workers rebel, valid criticism isn’t silenced with accusations of sexism.

My experience is that bad male leaders either change or move out of the role quickly.

There is often a problem between the feedback loop with men and women about leadership that results in a hostile work environment.

Now that I read it here, I think this is quite true.
