How to give orders like a man!

I recieve orders all the time and each one varies in its dificulty. It is surprising how even the simplest commands can be very challenging. After thinking for some time for a specific event that stands out, I came across one in my dusty mind. The command was given by my mom. It was just "move". One simply word but still I was unable to comply to it.  Senarios can change everything. I remember that day because my parents were fighting and my mom was about to up and leave. My brother and I crowded the door to stop her. With tears in her eyes, it was evident that she was in no condition to drive. There was no way we were going to move. From that event, my family got closer -in my opinion.  In my eyes, in no way does gender affect giving orders. To me, credentials makes me think twice about a command, not the gender. Also the nature of the order matters. Telling me to operate some high tech surgery equipment would not fly well with me.
