Looks like just hypothesizing, even when admitting as much is downvote worthy.

Another hypothesis worth considering is that intrasexual selection tactics of women are tolerated in the workplace but those of men are not.

Across many species and many societies, male intrasexual selection takes places as overt direct competition (hand-to-hand combat, sports, male elephant seals). With females (again across species and across societies), intrasexual selection is more often indirect due to female choice.

Direct competition is observable and easily addressed. Indirect competition is not by virtue of being indirect. This means that the modern workplace does not afford the conditions for men to compete much if at all except via promotion for doing good work. There are not the same mechanisms and norms in place in many modern workplaces to direct energy spent on indirect competition to more productive outlets.

I expect another downvote here too because acknowledging the existence of differences between genders is only frowned upon when talking about humans, but whatever.

You aren't noting an intrinsic difference between genders, only a cultural one.

I've lived in North America, South America and Asia. In my experience, these observations span at least those three places I've lived in. The behavior of men in the workplace in Asia and to a lesser degree South America is worse than the major counterparts in the US, but only because those societies are more patriarchal and that behavior is not as frowned upon.

After far as the workplace behavior of women, I've found that it's approximately the same, but perhaps more muted in Asian cultures.

Again, all anecdotal here. So take it with a grain of salt. What has been your experience?
