It appears the universal conviction of popular culture that for a woman in authority to get the necessary respect her underlings must address her as a man.
They must call her not "Ma'am" but "Sir", not "Boss" but "Boss Man".
Catherine the Great, Queen Elizabeth I ("Gloriana"), the Queen Empress Victoria, Golda Meir, and Mrs. Ghandi would all have found this conviction profoundly sexist and misogynist.
As do I.
