yes, but on the other hand, one of the finest and brightest clients I ever had was a woman CEO in the 1990s tech sector, who was coerced, manipulated and finally, defeated  (after--true stuff--sacrificing most of her hair) because of overarching, overbearing, aggressive male "stakeholders." 

Was this a gender issue?  I was pretty close to the story and my conclusion: gender was a HUGE factor.
