I understand it is why I am able to submit to male authority and so thankful that for me it was the other way around. I do have difficulty with anyone being demanding, regardless of sex.
Still.. God continues to heal my problems with women in authority and it is something I'm working on.
I now have a female boss... who replaced a male who I have respect for. I am actually surprised at how well it is going. However, the few days were a little rough on me and I spent time praying about my situation.. trying to overcome issues that cause it in the first place.. it may seem insignificant to others... but if they only knew how I bristle at a domineering, head strong woman... they would understand. I have little tolerance for it. I know it is just a work situation...but I spend 8-10 hours a day here.
So, I understand what Mich has said... but totally agree with you. We have to conquer those trust issues.

Over the last 20 years or so I have done an informal survey of women I have worked with. Once I know them well enough and know they will not be offended I ask them if they would rather work for a man or a woman. In the last 20 years having ask this question dozens of times so far the answer has been 100% would rather work for men.
When I ask why I am told (keep in mind this is from women about working for other women) it is that women are much harder to work for. They are more demanding and if you cross them never forget.
So issues working for a woman may not be any problem on your part but just something natural.
