I think the most vocally opposed to all of this either a)don’t work here and want to, b) have a kid who is going to be affected by this, or c) are politically geared to be offended by it.

* I will add my bit of bias and say that I think the ladies are catching a free ride off of the ACTUAL minorities. I’m not a newbie to this industry, and I’ve literally NEVER seen a barrier to entry for a female.
