Yavanna--hi.

As someone who has worked long and hard for women's rights I know that type all too well.

I think of them as "Southern Belle" types--whether they're from the south or not.

They sit on their uh...laurels not getting a hair out or place or their nail polish chipped--and then when it's all over--they reap the rewards AND criticize those of us who did the heavy lifting.

That particular poster happened to be living in another country when the major challenges went on and has NO IDEA how hard it was to get the changes that women benefit from today.

It's not an attitude I care much for--but one I run into every so often.

Thank goodness they are NOT in the majority.

Not on my radar.

Yep--be sure and let OTHERS fight the battle for ypu and your daughters and granddaughters.

So much easier that way--isn't it?

 

You chose the wrong ole lady for that answer. For twelve years I had the highest sales and I worked with four men; I just worked harder. One of my confreres liked to tease me that I killed my customers with kindness : I did. My youngest daughter, now in her early forties, lost a very-high paying position when the building boom collapsed; now she has just been made financial manager in a newer smaller company. She and her older sister both graduated from GA TECH--one highly competitive atmosphere.

I like pro sports pretty much the way they are. Never was much of an Atlanta Falcons fan so we went to the home games with SF so I could watch Montana throw the football. Most exciting football throw I ever saw was by Namath at Arrowhead in KC. Still luv the Atlanta Braves and I'm partial to sluggers.

There are tales about my father's mother participating in a bicycle rally for the right of women to vote : over a century ago in the Finger Lakes area of New York State.

I can't imagine a professional team letting breasts stand in the way of money. If someone is that good, they will be snapped up.
