I understand that completely... being your own boss is good, you only have to obey the tyrant you are to yourself. It is a sad reality that most women I know have had an experience, or multiple experiences with this. I think so much can be done now to show that it is not acceptable and won't be tolerated.

We have a venue in our city that just got sold because ALL of the female employees quit at the same time and made public the managerial practices (which were not appropriate). They quit and sold within a week and were out of business. (The only better end would be that they quit and were unable to sell, but it is a start.)
