authority

質問

I’m an officer on a boat in the tourism industry. I love my job and value guests who come back year after year. Some have been spending their vacations with us for longer than I’ve been alive, and treasure our boat and business. One of these guests, however, took a strong and immediate dislike to me last year. I’ll call them “Chris.” I’m already dreading the week Chris will spend with us this year—last year, they spent the entire time insulting me to other passengers and crew members behind my back, snapping at me to my face, and at one point cornering me and haranguing me about my personal shortcomings. Not professional shortcomings, mind; Chris admitted that I’m good at my job, but had a problem with my upbeat, easygoing demeanor. Because I am a young woman in a traditionally masculine position of authority, I get pushback like this fairly often but never with such personal dislike attached.

masculine position of authorityの意味を教えてください。よろしくお願いします

＃１です。補足です。

　今読み直して気づきましたが、a traditionally masculine position of authority　と切るべきで、伝統的には男性がなってきた権力のある地位、と読むと楽です。

masculine position of authorityの意味を教えてください。

　男性的権威地位　＞　今までは男しか成れないと考えらてきた権力のある地位、

　国でいえば大統領、軍隊で言えば司令官、船でいえば船長、法曹界では最高裁判所長官、みたいな、今までは男に限られると思われてきた職業、などでしょう。
