Yes, and in the "old days" (the 1970s) I was unable to rent an apartment without my father's signature on the lease, although he was retired in Alabama on a disability pension and I was a successful engineer. Because he was a man and I was 'a girl'.

And in the "old days" I could not get into law school, "because it's no use teaching girls to be anything; they just get pregnant and quit." I was told that my scores on the LSAT and my university grades "are high enough if you were a man, but WE DEMAND HIGHER GRADES FROM THE GIRLS."

I have been fighting for 40 years against this "Men are men and women are girls" mentality and I'm sick of it. However, I expect this entire generation of men have to die off, and the last one to die will be moaning 'NO GIRLS IN THE CLUB HOUSE!' as he shuffles off to a Heaven in which he will be horrified to find that women are not kept around only as brood mares and sex objects and typists.

Unless he's a Mormon, of course.
