Women have an emotional attachment to their place of work. They often take things personally and will be affected by work even after the day is done. Men, on the other hand, usually don't really let things at work get to them
Men can compartmentalize. Women cannot.
This is why women shouldn’t be in combat.

My assistant is being let go at month end for these reasons. Starts drama, unproductive, and a serious case of jealousy have led to her demise. She is a total man hater, 53 years old, never married, and no kids. And she wonders why???? I can't wait, gonna be nice to come in and not have any b/s drama to have to deal with!!! Come on New Year!

Yeah, but at a job, you have to interact.

I just switched jobs due in no small part to a backbiting, conniving old cat lady who sabotaged my department and sold me down the river to our boss. Being one of only a few men in the office, whenever I called her out on shite, I was accused of being a bully and not a "team player."
Counting down the days to my last.

No drama in my department 
But...my two infection control nurse coworkers are both male and so is my medical director.

Not trying to be sexist, man. Really. But among the things I have noticed:
Women create drama. Gossip and jealousy, stuff like that. Complaining about each other. They always seem to be keeping score.
They take more days off, which I can generally forgive based on the fact that many are mothers. But they always seem to be very precisely counting their PDO's and making a big deal about a day here or an hour there. And they worry about other women abusing time off.
They generally act more entitled than men, and freak over any hint of injustice. Is this just from PTSD due to years of oppression by the patriarchy?
I dunno, man. I like women, and my whole team is female.
But dudes just sort of keep to themselves and work for the most part.
None of this shite is true. Shut the frick up.

IMO that situation is 50% Cathy the Catlady and 50% your boss for tolerating and even perpetuating that crap.

In my workplace the women are far better than the men.

I work in a nearly all male office of 40 or so people. Most of the guys here still act like little bitches and talk behind each other's backs and try to screw each other over. Luckily I don't have to work directly with most of them. But just listening to all the petty shite they squabble over is mind-blowing.

Depends on the job. Technically, I could perform my job without interacting with a single person. Of course that would suck, but I could if I chose to do so.

No doubt. Boss (also a woman) was weak as pond water, and Catlady used it to her advantage. I enjoyed that my boss wasn't micromanaging me. But Catlady was doing enough for both of them, just without my knowledge.

When you were growing up, were you ever scared of getting physically beaten up by other kids? Did you have older brothers that you tried not to piss off? Did you have bullies who would try and stuff you in a locker or dump you in a dumpster if you crossed them?
Women, by and large, don't get bullied that way.
Men learn that there are consequences for being a dickbag at a fairly young age. They learn that if they antagonize people, there are direct consequences (i.e. an arse whipping). In girl world, there are no direct consequences.
Women are raised knowing that when they're acting irrational, no one will hit them. Now, they're told that the second someone does hit them, they have all the power in the world to destroy that person. That's a LOT of power.
Women have become so empowered to the point that many feel completely unaccountable for their actions. They don't have to act decent because there are no consequences for acting like a selfish trash bag.
Because they cannot and do not compartmentalize, they cannot separate their profession, their opinions, or their job performance from their sense of self. When they are given feedback on their job performance, they take that as a critique of their self worth. If you tell them they did a bad job on something, they see it as you telling them they are a bad person. Guys, by and large, don't think like this. They can separate their work from their life to a greater extent.
So, now we have established the motive why women feel slighted all of the time in the office (they take criticism as a personal attack against their character), and why they think they can behave like petty monsters (grew up without a fear of violence befalling them for acting like an a-hole), but why are they so "offended" all of the time?
They're not "offended". They're empowered. They are using "offense" as a tool to get what they want. They don't care about that joke you said in the break room or that you took a personal call at work. They joke worse with their friends in the break room and spend half their time gossiping on the phone. No, they had another reason to dislike you (because of reasons mentioned above) and decided to use an opportunity (i.e. a noticed arguable offense against company policy) to get back at you in a petty way because there are no consequences for doing so (because no one has nor ever will hit them without spending the rest of their life in prison and/or bankruptcy).
Finally, the uglier they are, the more bitter they are. The more bitter they are, the more likely they are to feel slighted by others. The more likely they are to feel slighted, the more likely they are to seek revenge. The more likely they are to seek revenge, the more they will seek to enforce company rules to punish people they don't like.
So yeah, working in an office environment around a fair number of women sucks for good reason.

Women are more empowered in today's world, and the know it. Woman know they can get away with a little bit more at work than men. The jealousy and gossip stuff is an attention mechanism which can be tied to their family life. At home woman are not the dominating person, but at work among other woman, they feel like they need the superiority that they crave but dont get home.

False. I'm chipper AF.
The rest kinda made sense though.

I work in a corporate environment with about equal number of men and women. Company of about 150.
The biggest drama queen is a woman. She's also excellent at her job and makes the company good money.
The next 2 drama queens are men.
My supervisor is the COO, and she's great to work for. She leaves me alone, doesn't gossip, and works her arse off.
One of our Program Managers is the smartest person in the company and she works her arse off too, and makes the company a lot of money. She works hard and expects those around her to do the same. Some of the guys don't like her. I think she's great.
There are many more annoying men in this company than women. Easily.
