For years I was the only male in my office and I enjoyed it, while everyone was in their cubical the women forgot that there was a man around and I learned a lot from over heard conversations about stuff.
In fact most of the tensions in office was from issues like the way some women dressed, their breast size, their behavior (flirts outside of the office) and etc. Funny that I never heard any male bashing by my co-workers or had any negativity projected on me from the women's experiences with other men.
Now I am in another department doing budgets in a all male facility for recovering male drug addicts and it is the men that have the issues with each other. We had one female counselor who was experiencing the freedom of being the only one of her gender in the office. She left for personal reasons, but still stops by to visit.
