What every one else said. I butt my head on that glass ceiling every day I get dressed and go into work.
And latent sexism has begun oozing out the woodwork since it became obvious that Hillary was a real contender. Racism is taboo in our country and a lot of it is underground. Sexism? It's acceptable to be sexist right out in the open. In fact, it's such a part of our culture, that we don't even SEE it anymore.
Of course, I'm in tune to such things because it affects me directly. But if I were to keep a log of gender discrimination, I could add something to my list hourly. All I have to do is turn on my television.
