Absolutely, but even in a female dominated field, the people who push are labeled as “not team players”, “bitches”, or “ball busters” (even if the bustees have no balls to speak of). That being said, my thought process was "so what? Let them fear your assertiveness. When you’re as honest and fair (and as damn good at your job as my wife is), there are always people fighting to try to hire her away from her current job. She, luckily, could have afforded the social consequences at any point, but was still reluctant to push back until things got really bad.
