"Are you my boss or something?": Only woman on the team stands up to short-tempered coworker when he throws a tantrum over an email

Being the only woman at your workplace can be tough indeed. Many women that find themselves in this situation feel that they have to work just as hard to get recognition for their work or have their voice heard compared to their male peers. It's also not unusual to face gender bias from bosses, managers, and even peers. On top of all of this, it can be pretty isolating. It's hard to make due without a coworker bestie that you can't banter with the way you would with another woman.

In our story today, a young woman finally stands up to a short-tempered coworker. While his anger and outbursts aren't always directed at her, she's the only one out of a team of men that is willing to clap back when he throws a tantrum over something small.

I do think she took it a bit far and got a little unprofessional with her retort. I'm proud of her for standing up for herself, though.
