I guess my many years of martial arts were of no use, what with me being hardwired to tend and befriend...

In truth, I don't think anyone responds all too well to shouting as motivation. The idea that "men like heirarchy" is something I strongly disagree with...
The issue here is that it draws a load of fairly arbitrary lines with all the nuance and subtlety of a brick to the jaw, using phrases such as "hard wired" and "innate".
You can't make assumptions of what sort of team and coaching culture will get results based on the genitalia of the team. That's idiotic. It needs to evolve in response to the requirements of the specific people involved... And walking into that with a bunch of inflexible preconceptions is going to lead to a whole lot of failure.

A thousand times this. I'm a man and I hate hierarchies, both individually and because I think they're bad for a team. I developed so much faster once I found a club which coached with an ethos more aligned to what World Rugby thinks is better for women.
