[quote=Anonymous][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]

[b]I'm 53 and have a similar story. I grew up not knowing any women who had been to college or had careers,[/b] came up through an industry where I was frequently the only woman in my particular specialization, and look around now at a professional environment where there's absolutely equal opportunity for women. There's still plenty of stuff, and I still think I probably have to work harder to be respected in some contexts. But I've had great male bosses throughout my career who gave me opportunities and never treated me as anything less than equal.[/quote]

You never went to school?   Or were all of your teachers male?[/quote]
