Does the advice a man receives from another man, always have more value than the advice given by a woman?

Asked by Bellatrix (21307points) July 30th, 2011

I have heard from women over the years “I suggested blah blah blah, and he ignored me completely but then his friend said the same thing and suddenly he said “hey guess what, Jim thinks we should do this, so I am going to do xxx”. Jim suggested the same thing as the woman, but her advice was ignored. When Jim said the same thing, his advice is accepted as being spot on leaving the woman wondering if she was talking in another language when she made the same suggestion.

Women, has this happened to you? Men, do you consciously do this or have you been accused of this? Why do you think this happens?
