Reply #429: I remember when the cop that shined the flashlight into the car [View All]

wouldn't let me produce my license because I was a woman. He only would speak to my husband.

No real team sports for girls but for one good soul of a PE teacher in junior high who apparently stayed every Tuesday and let us play games on her own time.

No high school counselor asking me about college, instead the principle driving me home to take care of my mom when she was ill because I was a girl. Took care of her from ages 11-17 with the school system's blessing.

Hearing my husband being asked, when we were in student housing, what HIS field was and listening to him stammer a bit, then respond that I was the student with a "field". Knowing that he hated that.

Even in the last ten years, when my husband went through a period of disability, being disrespected by officialdom as I wrestled to get him care because he obviously couldn't defend or protect me. Officialdom got a big fat surprise when this strategy didn't work. :evilgrin:

Thanks, everyone. I needed every single one of ya.
