Do you have to speak like a man* to be heard by men? Should I? * speak-like-a-man to me means present your point immediately, back it up, use as few words as possible, done. vs my typical style which is more like: paint a picture of an issue, lead them down a logical thought path with me, then make my point. Each way has advantages and each audience/situation is unique but it feels like the men don't seem to hear unless I make my point right up front.
