55. 177 IQ?

Higher than both Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking! Wow!

I’m sorry about your bosses. FWIW I’ve had a mixed bag. My worst boss was a man. My best two were split, one man and one woman.

I am a little grossed out that your brush is so broad. I will simply say that bosses come in many varieties and it is my experience that female bosses are just as likely to be amazing, and as awful, as male bosses. It’s almosy as if gender isn’t a factor at all! Hmmm.
