I worked for an engineering firm with a boss from South America. (He was quite "old-fashioned" in his treatment of women.) But I was dang good at my job (thank you very much) and my boss recognized this fact and actually celebrated it. I never once felt anything but respect from my superiors or those equal to me and even all the employees below me on the corporate food chain.

We had another female employee (hired at the same time as me) and she was a real "work of art"! Anyway, she did suffer tremendously at the hands of the company. But she was truly in over her head on the job, she was an idiot, and I think the criticism was deserved! There were male employees who suffered the same fate at the time as well. Trust me...competence RULES. If you can do your job--no one sees your sex, color, age, or lifestyle!

At least that's my experience!
