"what was most hurtful was to be invisible at the funerals"

No, sweetie, what was most hurtful was that more than 300 firefighters died.

Face it ladies... the MEN were heroes and did all the dangerous work and they tried to rescue WOMEN as well as men and children. So much for your whine about being underrepresented in the firefighting profession as a result of 9-11. The country has had it with incessant male-bashing.
