In simple terms (not an exact translation)...
If you are only a little bit like a lady, maybe you tolerate a lot of behavior that is not "gentleman-like."
The more of a "lady" you are, the less you will tolerate.
This advice is to be too ladylike to tolerate any behavior that isn't the behavior of a gentleman.
The phrasing is common by hard to parse.
