On a mild counterpoint, years ago I went into an entry level job, with the strong majority of co-workers being women. As soon as I got there they told me that I wouldn't have to worry about learning the position, as 'All the men got promoted out real quickly....'
I think if I blew out my back I'd be pissed I was doing all of the grunt work. Again though, it's back to the corporate world in a week. I just find it funny how women can get away things men would be fired and chastised over.
