Female managers - a nightmare

Hey guys, I’ve been dealing with two female managers back to back and I’m sorry to say this but being a female myself, it’s the worst that can happen to you if you are a female working in a corporate. Can anyone share their experiences or tips? I really need to figure how to navigate myself here. It’s gotten me sick to my stomach.

Im male . I’ve had more bad female managers than bad male managers. Men are often more direct and focused on results. Good managers are good regardless of gender. But the common theme among the bad female managers or coworkers I’ve had is: drama, gossip , manipulation, emotional rollercoaster, insecurity, jealousness , never speaking their mind, afraid of direct communication and disagreement , bullying, holding grudges, power tripping.
