There's your problem. You stop at threatening. Unless you follow through, it's always going to seem like an empty threat. This kind of thing is fairly common (in America anyway) for women with any kind of authority. Women are either "too nice" to do it or they end up being called "a huge bitch." Men don't care as much about what others think about them, unconsciously or not, so it is less of an issue.

However, there is an exception to this. Unionized Secretaries. Do. not. fuck with them or you will soon find yourself out of a job. I've seen it happen and I've only been working at this job for half a year. Most of them are nice though.
