You are literally saying that you need to behave like a man to be taken seriously. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Yes, that is precisely and literally what I am saying. I'm saying that if women wish to be taken seriously they need to behave like men.

Thank you for this very constructive dialogue, I have developed so much insight in this exchange. You've clearly gone to great lengths to communicate thoughtfully and understand the true matter in this situation. Thank you.
