I’ve posted here before about gender bias I’m seeing in our workplace. I’m now being asked by my boss to manage out my report, a senior woman. However negative feedback from me would largely be a fabrication; and she has a lot of positive feedback from peers. I’ve asked him for specifics and was told ‘she’s just bad’. I’m concerned about risk for me of fabricating a performance issue, esp when I’m seeing a larger pattern. But if I push back then that is also risky for me. Would love some advice.

I lead quite a large team (am a woman). I've noticed that my boss tends to highly favor men over women, misattribute group or women co-owned successes to men, promote men over women, fire women more often than men, and blame women for issues while avoiding directing any accountability towards men. The way he speaks to women, including women on my team, is intimidating and seems almost personal. Women on my team report saying they feel stupid or singled out around him. I feel like I'm the recipient of a torrent of blame day in day out, as are they, and few of my accomplishments are recognized. Less qualified men are given oversight of projects that should sit with my team. I'm afraid if i discuss this with anyone I'll be retaliated against. Any suggestions most welcome.
