[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I don’t. I was raised by an old-school Irish Catholic father. Socially  I had more restrictions, but academically I was expected two excel and reach full potential. My career was very successful in my field. It still is. I am 52 and work with predominately younger individuals male and female. Middle-aged female managers are very supported, at least as much as anyone else.
Personally, I don’t look for media to be my litmus test. But then again, I don’t like most media. If you think about TV shows and movies 30+ years ago though you have to admit women are seen in a more equal role.

I’m actually more worried about DS than DDs future except for safety.[/quote]

I’m 52 and my dad told me all I needed to learn was how to type. I didn’t need college because it would be “wasted on me” but my 5 brothers went to college. He told me there would be no unemployment if women would stay home.

I disagreed and am very successful. My 1st promotion he toasted to affirmative action.

One of my professors in the engineering school said it was extremely difficult to get into the engineer program, for those that earned it congratulations. Looked at me … and then some we have to let in because of quotas. I was the only woman in the room.

You were lucky to be shielded from it.

As for your DS, it will be harder for him than your h because now he actually has to play on a level playing ti  we kid instead of being given everything for little effort.[/quote]
