I believe that by accepting the teases and giving the reactions you gave to those men is your own fault and exactly why they wouldn’t take you seriously in the workplace. If someone was wanting a reaction out of me they wouldn’t like the brutally honest words that would be “teasing” them right back yet have a slightly more sharp edge to it. If you wanted to be taken so seriously why didn’t you give more effort and give shit back that you were given? if you want to be equal to a man, work hard and talk some shit. Acting like a sorority girl has no place in the work environment. Keep that at home and for social gatherings.
