"Women together generally makes for a bad experience."
I don't believe that's a fair statement to make. Both men and women can have trouble working together. In fact, I work in the same office as many women (roughly 1/3 the office population is female) and most of the time they work together wonderfully.
I do have a personal bias: It seems to me that when women disagree, it's louder and longer than when men disagree. I think that men tend to get angry, but they hold it in more times than not and then gripe about it later to their cohorts. Women are generally more expressive and are more likely to say something up front when they are upset. Hence, you may end up with more "arguments" when women work together.
However, it's my experience that women in the IT workforce are very professional and carry themselves well.
They do enjoy talking amongst themselves more than guys, but that's just a gender difference that any married man is well-acquainted with. As many other people on this post have written, "it's not better, just different".
