That article in The Atlantic - in a nutshell - is about female lawyers who resent having to work so many hours - so they end up taking it out on each other.  
I call that baloney.  
Even in 9 to 5 workplaces, women can be cutthroat with each other.  Reason for it is that some women view the workplace as a battlefield - an uncivilized and boorish outlook to take, but that's the reality.  
A good boss sees through the shenanigans of troublemakers and doesn't feed their agenda.  Problem is, there aren't enough good bosses to go around in this world.  
I have limited experience with male bosses but have experienced good ones as well as ones who were useless.
