227. Well said Andrea
It's sort of an Ostrich (head in the sand) argument isn't it. I never saw it so it doesn't exist. Yet at the same time she doesn't even bring up Hillary in her post, only writes about Bill listening to Al as if Hillary is an afterthought.

More to your point about glass ceilings, I have worked in factories for 35 years now and have heard some variation of the meme "a woman can't do that kind of work" countless times in those years.

Sexism (like racism) exists in all aspects of life and work but it doesn't help to end it when we look for it as the motivation for every action or when women deny it when it is real, even to the point of self-denial of their own attitudes brought on by years of societal conditioning.
