I am pretty much the same way. I am terribly uncomfortable. Women can be malicious. There's this saying, I'm a nurse and I constantly surrounded by them, but it's "the doctors bury their mistakes, and the nurses eat their own" and that is the reason why I hate my career! Women can be sooooo malicious. My mother was pretty bad until she died, so maybe it's because she was so critical. Whatever the reason, I am with you on this one.
