What comes across from the article to me is the class barrier more than the gender one...

I read the article. There is zero indications anywhere in the article that this is the case, none.

Notably, the authors describes both her experience and the experience of other women. And they don't like but they expect and let it roll off their backs.

Sure, some work places have culture of "good-natured razzing" but others have a culture of straight-bullying. Sometimes the bullying comes from people who are damaged themselves and other times it comes from a company or a manager who believes this lets them control their workers (not always incorrectly). Either the bullying doesn't serve the workers.

But is it malicious? Almost certainly not.

A second of thought should show this kind of generalization is impossible. You're engaged in the classic "I know the working class and they are exactly this way" sophistry.
