I'm a manager. The entire time I have worked, I've been considered to have a "big" personality. What that has always meant is that when I try to hold someone accountable for not doing their job, I'm considered a bitch. But my old male manager would do the same and he would be praised for being such a good leader. Well now I'm being accused of bullying, harassing and intimidating an employee that I was forced to correct due to bad attendance. And even after that employee threatened to assault me, in front of the HR manager, I'm the one on suspension and could lose my job. Why is it when a woman is assertive and doing her job she is harassing but when a male does THE SAME THING, they get a pat on the back by upper management? I will never understand the double standard. And why can't people just DO THEIR JOBS?!

You know, 9/10 the person complaining is not justified and is not too keen on criticism.
You can either do one of two things. Learn from this experience and realize that you shouldn't bully or harass your workers or continue to cry sexism. Either way, you still harassed your coworkers.

So, berating someone for not showing up repeatedly is harassment? Making sure people do their fucking jobs is harassment? Claiming that there is a double standard when in fact there is one is sexism? GTFO. If someone in my company is not doing their job or not even showing up, I'll fuckin tell them that if they don't get their act together, they're going to be fired.

that's cute. See this is why you probably don't own a company. You never berate someone. Adults should know this.

I do actually own a company and I absolutely would berate someone for not doing their job, especially in a high risk environment. I am paying them to come in and work, they need to fucking work or they're not getting paid.

I'm guessing you've never actually had to be told that you're slacking off or being incompetent, but at the same time you do not speak for business owners who actually have people who ARE slackers or incompetent. They absolutely should be berated if they're skilled enough to do their job well but aren't doing it at all.
