An article about gender differences in the workplace

This article I think does a good job detailing some of the most prevalent gender stereotypes in the workplace and how people perceive certain emotions in men and women. At the beginning of the article there is also an outline of "How to Tell a Male Boss From a Female Boss" which shows how women usually get the negative connotations and perceptions of certain actions/emotions. An interesting distinction that this article brought up was that men at work that are emotional are defined as "not being able to control their temper" where if a woman is emotional, she is usually labeled as being "crazy."
