Thanks for the book recommends. :)
I've been mulling this, and decided I have no gender bias on this issue. It doesn't matter if the authority figure is male or female. I have a long history of being as blunt as can be to male (and female) authority figures I don't respect. High school teachers, doctors, etc. While this issues has cropped up with female authority figures.
The key element is whether I admire, respect, or care for the person. That's when my fear of them being mad at me overwhelms everything else.
