Just thought I'd stop in and say hello. I've never been an activist in feminism, except for always working in men's jobs and doing it successfully. Surprised the hell out of myself and my family too. So, in that way I was active.

I only wish it had made things easier for the women who came after me. It didn't. They still face the same adversity I did. Perhaps less shock that a woman can more than hold her own, but that's about it.

So hello everyone and thanks yardie for the invitation!
