DISQUS

Well said, o Shakespeare of the Yellowverse!
The first step towards improving sexist behavior (or any discriminatory/ignorant/stereotypical attitudes) is to control the language. If we ALL insist that people be polite and respectful in their discourse with each other (even in "private"), this crap stops.

Call bullshit is important, and we should all be doing it. The women in our Yellowverse (Francie, Kathy, Gab, Libby, MBR, Sandra, Kristin(s) and on and on and on, are VERY VALUABLE contributors, equal to any (and surpassing many) a male I could name.

Rock on!! Do not take crap from ANYONE!

As always, you have a way with words that strike right to the heart of the matter. Great post, Steve.

Great post. I too have encountered this in the science field and appreciate all that you have said (and I have known great male nurses!)

I have to say, I enjoy you more and more every day. You need to make it to Lotusphere or I need to make it to ILUG/UKLUG sometime. The fact that we haven't had a beer or good whiskey together is simply a travesty!
