I am a woman, and really like working with other women too, prefer to work with women than men, because of the similar reasons. It's simply because of the gendered upbringing men and women in our society gets, and the inherent gender power dynamic. But I can't even say that out loud, because we women always are in danger of getting fired from our paid works, and also, we women are taught to kind of belittle other women too, and upheld the men above women, so openly admitting my preference might make me look like a weird woman.
