THis is only true up to a certain point. At a certain corporate level, men are not going to take you seriously if they see you as their little sister or someone they want to have sex with. One headhunter I know talked about how women who used their femininty like this were complaining because they weren't being taken seriously and she had to tell them to cut it with the little girl lost act.
Skirts are necessary at interviews and depending on the formality of the office, formal business settings. In business casual and on an everyday level there is nothing wrong with wearing pants.

Good points. In the nearly 15 years I've been a journo, I always wore skirt suits when on job interviews and in formal settings. But if it's informal, I wear pants or pant suits. In fact, today, I am wearing pants although I have an interview.
As an aside, I loathe seeing women in the professional environment with bare midriffs. There are more than a few women who work in my building who do this. Time and place, people.
