Get a job where women don't work. Think like trades or anything that actually involves work and not typing things into a keyboard. You'll notice the negativity soon drops to near zero.

Huh? Construction? Agriculture? Mechanics?

I thought some measure of women worked there too.

If I was in the 'stressful workplace' situation, I would opt to wear quality earmuffs if possible/find healthy coping methods. (practice yoga/meditation, improve my sleep) But if that didn't work, I'd weigh the pros and cons of remaining in the position, talk to a trusted ally, and perhaps leave -- but not before securing another job!

Completely and totally miserable at my firm and just need a space to vent because my friends are tired of hearing about it. I wish the worst part about it was the amount of work, rather than the completely toxic culture, lack of appreciation, arbitrary and back/breaking deadlines, lack of mentorship/feedback/training, and the fact that the associates act like they don’t even know each other. I cry every day and constantly am made to feel stupid for not understanding the highly technical (cont.)
