Nope. My post related entirely to the use of personal anecdote to make some sweeping, extremely debatable point: "In short, X is right: the greater part of the battle truly has been won. It's not so much a matter of being male or female, or of what race you are...it is truly more a matter of being willing and able to do what it takes to succeed, without expecting everything to simply be handed over to you just because you sacrificed enough of your time to show up. Attitude, effort, and acuity count for far more than anything else in any workplace bland has ever been associated with." I am happy that your grandmother can vote. But in my average American city, there are no white inner city slums and women do not even come close to parity within the defining corporations, political and public institutions, and private associations. (With the exception of city government and some public unions, African Americans are virtually out of the picture.) M2
