It's interesting what you said about your assistant being mistaken for the manager. I've been more and more aware lately of my behavior entering a place of business to direct my conversation to the individual who acknowledges me first, and not to the male first if it's a male and female situation. We've come a long way and still have a while to go.<br /><br />f<br /><a href="http://thehouseintheclouds.com/" rel="nofollow">The House in the Clouds</a>Fabienne Jachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13571647297447012840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-77077386059740560792011-03-19T01:44:41.582+00:002011-03-19T01:44:41.582+00:00That comment from the police officer makes me furi...That comment from the police officer makes me furious. It's sad to see that there is still a lot of discrimination towards women today.

AND for being fantastic, and not hiding it.<br /><br />I forgot my sense of style for more years than I care to recall and what you said about why people approached your assistant rather than you--about it having nothing to do with your appearance, but it being all about the fact that he was male, and you are female--I've recently come to recognize how true that is. And so why NOT dress and style myself the way that I want to?

It is incredible we are still asserting ourselves and still fighting for even the smallest bit of equality.

The nerve of those policemen! Victim-blaming, I'm afraid, is still a very strong mechanism in this society, and still primarily directed at women. So there is a lot left to fight for, even though like you I acknowledge how far we've come and I'm grateful for it. <br /><br />PS: I know this is just the kind of cliché we're up against, but I still can't help calling your wearing of hotpants brave, and admiring you for it.
