Personally, I think this whole concept of people not having to toughen up because they don't have a penis - or do - is utter bullshit. You adapt to whatever environment you think you need to be in. It does not adapt to you.
The army is a perfect example.
There are strength and endurance requirements that absolutely must be met. There are psychological and skill requirements that must be met. Never mind the guts under the hood.
The same goes for every place that you choose to work. If you aren't the boss, if you don't own the show, you're just an actor. Stop being a diva and suck it the fuck up.
I'm not saying that certain considerations don't need to be taken, but to insist that the culture needs to change because you're a pretensious self-important git is totally laughable.
If I were to work in an office dominated by female culture, I'd put up with the same kind of crap, only sneakier - which, in my thinking, is much more insidious. But if that's the environment I choose to work in, so be it. Politics don't effect me, so I probably won't be in that environment for very long, but I'm not going to knock it because it's not the scene that I want it to be.
If it matters so much, strike out on your own. Software development is pretty flexible like that.
That's my take on it.
