It is very disturbing to see just one female face among the sea of male faces.
Well, at least we got one woman there, that's something. At the rate we are going, maybe in a couple hundred more years of feminist struggle we will get two or even three women out of the kitchen and into the public sphere.

That's some scary shit right there, Clarissa. And then some claim that sexism is dead. Some even question that its need in our Great Western Civilization.
Thank you for leaving a link to that discussion, Joy-Mari Cloete. It often seems to me like people who go on about how 'women have achieved full equality' must live on a different planet. I wonder if they ever watch television, turn on the computer, read a newspaper (a magazine, a book, etc.), look around, go into bars and restaurants, and so on andd so forth.
I'm cynical enough that, while it makes me sad, it doesn't shock me. At all. And I think that's also pretty sad.
@Clarissa: yeah, I also used to think they live elsewhere. Unfortunately they're in our offices, in our beds, in our parliaments.
