As a very old, wise person once said when asked how much had changed in the 90+ years having lived on Earth? ~ The answer was "Not much, not much at All!" So be it! Which means, there continues to be a great deal of work to be done to SHIFT this continuing UNEQUAL & UNFAIR & DESTRUCTIVE historical IMBALANCE of POWER here in our OWN country & throughout the World.

How do you tell someone you don't know that this happened without actually sounding like a "flaming feminist man-hater"? (I'm afraid the absurd part of my sense of humor finds that phrase hilarious; no one has asked me anything like that since the 1970s. I thought we'd gotten over that sort of BS as a society.)PamBGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324370506889227234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20471270.post-19294257266000419532011-06-13T01:17:20.942+01:002011-06-13T01:17:20.942+01:00Not hard for me to believe this happens even today...Not hard for me to believe this happens even today. I remember when I was in my early 30s and looking for a job I was asked if I was going to have more children. When I said I didn't know for sure I was even asked what kind of birth control I was using! When I told the employment agency I was asked these questions they told me that yes they were out of line but I should just overlook it if I wanted to get a job!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20471270.post-58938418100631942502011-06-13T00:53:50.587+01:002011-06-13T00:53:50.587+01:00Pam, I'm glad you are telling this story. Yes...Pam, I'm glad you are telling this story. Yes, they need to be told. Maybe we should get together and edit a book of the many stories. Allan, you wouldn't believe it! Still, unbelievable! Don't know which is the fact they said or the fact that they know (or think) they can say it with impunity!WomanistNTProfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07337799446266529107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20471270.post-11912812463975109882011-06-11T16:09:38.842+01:002011-06-11T16:09:38.842+01:00Yeah.

He's said a number of times that people would call him thinking that they had a case when they didn't. He remarked that this was one of the strongest "fact sets" he'd heard in years.<br /><br />I don't want to sue them. In an ideal world, I'd like the organization to know what I was asked because it went against the professionalism I'd seen from the others. It was one person but I had the feeling that the other Chaplains were a bit cowed by him (one of the other Chaplains actually said, simultaneously with me, "How can she answer that question if she doesn't know what we talk about?")PamBGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11324370506889227234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20471270.post-68754700152788837792011-06-11T14:07:04.517+01:002011-06-11T14:07:04.517+01:00Wow!
