There is no way to make the situation better by 'misbehaving'. If you look at yourself as a minority, then you will be treated as such. If you want to be respected, you cannot demand it. You must earn it. And if you are willing to do what is right and try your best, and things still don't work, you will still have your dignity.
Sure, it's apparent in some areas of work that men have the upper hand, but if you allow yourself to be 'victemized', then it's your fault. If you stop pointing the finger at men and do your best job, then eventually you will move things in your favor.
Getting yourself into trouble is only immature, and people don't repsect you if you blame it on your sex. It is up to who you are to get where you want to go.
I once had a superior who told me I was a woman so he thought I was too emotional. Did I get mad? Nah, I found it comical. I didn't take it too hard, I mean, he's right, sometimes I can be. But if that is what he wants to think, I don't really care. I know who I am and what I do, and that is what matters to me. Sometimes we do have to work harder and prove ourselves, and that is more prideful than throwing our sex around to prove a point, because in the long run, it won't get you far anyway.

You must work at an awful employer if things happen like that. The women I have worked with over the years at various employers have always been respected, and treated equally with their male counterparts.
However- my real guess is that you are probably a problem employee, that wants everything to be handed to you. When the men dont do that for you, you chalk it up to sexism. Sorry, you might be selling, but my years of experience to the contrary means that Im not buying.

People will only do things to us that we allow them to.
Be accountable, it shows character. Maintain dignity, but use grace and poise. Have convictions but be diplomatic. What is your attitude? Ask yourself, am I giving off negative vibes, so that I am receiving negativity in return? Many people act disrespectful as a defense mechanism. It's really the old simple "Golden Rule". If there is a problem person, avoid them when you can. If they seek you out and bother you, don't feed into it. Just look and smile, don't speak. It will leave them with nothing to go on. You walk away the good guy.

Something tells me that this is the complaining of a woman with a huge sense of victimhood and entitlement not willing to work as hard as a man and will make up any lie to substitute for her own imperfections. If I am wrong, then why does she not try to start her own business and hire only women. She will not because it is easier to play victim.
Can you imagine the poor man that marries her?
