My oldest daughter owns and operates a business that is typically "male only". (Surveying/civil engineering) She's succeeded beyond everyone's wildest dreams. I've heard (on numerous occasions) men talk down to her in a VERY condescending manner, acting as if they knew everything and she wasn't capable of doing her job. Those men, as often as not, didn't know as much as my daughter, and their results bore that out. She used to stand her ground and argue her side. Now she just let's 'em go on thinking they know it all. Even the well meaning usually come off as belittling her. I know of several instances where men have (in their words) "kindly offered their advice", but facts be known, were VERY condescending towards Isabella. I'll be the first one to tell you that doesn't get you very far with her. (Just like her mother....)
Long story short, in 10 years since she started her own business, she's grown it quite a bit, while watching 3 others in our immediate area go out of business.
IMHO, if someone wants or needs advice, it's usually easy to find it, especially in todays world. Trying to push one's opinion on someone else who wasn't looking for it in the first place is a wonderful way to get told where to get off.
