Indeed. I've experienced such office politics nonsense before. I prefer majority male work environments.

As an older single woman, I also prefer majority male work environments. Before anyone labels me as immoral, let me state the reason why. Women’s gossip and backbiting, almost always present, makes for a toxic workplace. I prefer my mental energies to go into getting the job done, whatever that is.  As an older lady, I don’t have to contend with men looking to hook up with me.  I’m no longer particularly attractive and I’m not well-off, so the younger men’s attention, if sought out at all, tends to be as a motherly or even grandmotherly person, for advice.  Often, it is for historical or factual information, quite harmless, and I’m glad to oblige. Men are far less prone to divulging details of their private lives in a male predominant workplace. This is a plus, as there are many things I have no need or desire to know.  (A man who stands out for doing this is often a ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ or transgender, in which case, I can establish a safe distance from the person that protects both of our privacy.). 
At work, I want the focus to be task and goal oriented, not upon relationships and emotions!
