I'm sorry to hear about the annoying aspects, but glad to know that there were really fun upsides and that you took advantage of them to the fullest extent.
I'm not sure what to say regarding the maleness and hierarchy. It is certainly disgusting. I've observed it for years on that continent and hate it much.
I guess one thought I have on all this is that it's a good reminder about the system in the US. While it has its own issues, and clearly plenty of them, it really is more evolved in some ways than academia is elsewhere. And for that we should be grateful.
