.. in having to live with female drama.
I work in an exclusively female place (except me), have a website that is exclusively female (except me) and have a wife and daughter. Most of the time I just duck and stay away from all the crap that goes on...but holy cow my life seems crazy around all these raging hormones.
You ladies need to lighten up!
Having read and reviewed your statement, I will unfortunately have to fail you for the course 'tact 101'. Your approach is whiny, and the winky face at the end does not make it humorous. In order to re-enroll in 'tact', you must also re-take your sympathy practicum, as well as the 'shut up and grin' class.

Most guys would like to exchange places with Kreskin!
Not me. I know exactly what he's talking about. Nobody can tell me men and women don't think and behave differently. I've managed groups of up to two dozen people with various mixtures of males and females, and my observation (admittedly only anecdotal) is that men will work on a team with people they personally dislike for the sake of the common objective, women will not, they will sabotage each other. Men will focus on the task to be done, women will focus on the relationships among team members, and I found the greatest challenge in being a manager was balancing those differences.

Something else I've noticed, as a manager of mixed gender work teams, and as a husband, and a father of females, and a friend of many women, is that women cannot not talk if there's anyone within hearing distance, even when there's nothing to say. They'll say something anyway.
Except those who are already in similar situations.

Perhaps some women are petty, chatty, and vindictive, but what good are men really? Some critter to do heavy lifting? We have machines for that. Sex? We have machines for that, too. Kids? Not anymore. Now we have test tube kids. 
Funny, but it takes men a really long time to figure out that it's really stupid to piss off the cook.
Anna don't give away the secrets hehehe.......!
I just a creepy feeling of women approaching each other in a dress shop..... "Hey dude - wanna get it on later? " oh ick. Vive la difference!
Women aren't good at that either. At Chateau Sinister, I'm the cook most of the time.
Dexter My husband totally outdid me on preparing the most wonderful meals - for large groups or just the two of us.....
What I prepared during the week was so pitiful and mundane - compared with his ideas. He really enjoyed dreaming up new ideas and looked forward to a Saturday or Sunday preparing a great meal. It's a gift and I was so happy he wasn't inclined to keep it to himself!!

The women I work with (at both places) acknowledge there is extra emotional baggage brought to the teams.
Women can carry a grudge much farther than men. Like Ten Penny said, guys can scrap then get on with life, all within a few hours.
Foiled again. The pain and misery continues.
I learned.. I promise!
HAHAKreskin
I'm not gonna ask if you tried flirting with any of them - even once.....
