Yes I was but I delivery the Gettysburg address perfectly.

That was the first time I personally experienced sexism in my life but it was not my last.

Not we are not pipe fitters or iron workers generally but men are not generally nurses or teachers either. Men go to school as children and I'll bet most of your teachers were women! If you are sick and are hospitalized most likely your nurse will a women. If you are sick do you need a pipe fitter?

Why demean the people who gave birth to you, taught you as a child and takes care of you when you are sick?
