A woman I know was interviewing for a management position in, let’s say, a national construction firm. I have changed details for her protection, but rest assured it was a male-dominated industry in which she had many years of experience, as was clearly indicated on her resume. The man who interviewed her (it’s always a man) asked her, “How will you handle the good old boys?”
