That would mean constant watchfulness, even after the conversion. That actually makes sense to me and is one point I can agree on - but then again, I may have completely misunderstood you, there being such big differences in our upbringings.

This, on the other hand, contrasts starkly with the Bahá'í beliefs (once again, I acknowledge the possibility of grossly misunderstanding your point of view).
"Women and men have been and always will be equal in the sight of God." -- Bahá'u'lláh
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
