I guess when you've made it into your seventies (surviving two world wars) and wield knitting needles they think better of it. (It suddenly occurs to me--Margaret Rutherford was the original film Miss Marple. I can't see any sexist males messing with her, either.)CMinorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07305306030099439903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-19467467786405647752010-10-07T17:39:05.831-04:002010-10-07T17:39:05.831-04:00Thanks Joel.

Praise is nice, and I happen to think chicks should be praised often. Would we really be better off saying something like "your performance was somewhat above average, oh she of the female gender"?RLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13522238.post-26117684792989462392010-10-05T15:24:04.318-04:002010-10-05T15:24:04.318-04:00I work in a hospital.
