Believe what you will. Being professional, competant, and personable will get you much further in business than being "strong".
The old "men feel threatened by strong women" crap has been trotted out more often than Jesse Jackson uses the Race Card. And for exactly the same purpose: to close down the debate by slapping on a victim label. Men aren't threatened by strong women; men are resentful toward obnoxious jerks (of either sex).
