It is the radical attempt to create a false impression of martyrdom, driven by a political agenda.

No, Brees, it's just a bumper sticker.

I thought you were old enough to remember the bad old pre-feminism days. I certainly remember when, as a married woman in the state of Pennsylvania, I couldn't own property in my own name. I can remember when I was in high school attending a career day event where I showed up at the civil engineer seminar and was told, nicely, that their was an airline stewardess discussing down the hall. I can remember when I had a good job at the Pentagon and couldn't get a car loan from the Pentagon Credit Union without my husband's signature. That good job was as a computer programmer intern. I had the highest scores of anyone in my intern class but the instructor chose someone else as first in class. When questioned about it by a colleague he asked "Do you really think I would have chosen a woman" and then proceeded to make another in a series of passes at me.

Do you remember any of that? Perhaps you don't remember when women weren't people.
