In a perfect world... maybe.
My dad used to tell me that most of life's conflict stems from a misalignment between behavior and expectation. You have zero control over another persons behavior but complete control over your expectations. To avoid conflict, manage your expectations; simply expect people to be who they are and they will rarely disappoint you.
Just a side note... Things are getting better. The following link is an article about the most recent gender equality index. Happy to say the comp[any I work for scores a perfect score...
