My Aug. 29th, 2006 blog tells of my time at WABC Radio during that time. You are so right that it was a man's world but we did our best to take advantage of that !<BR/>I remember years later trying to open a checking account and having to get my husband's signature on the papers. We've come a long way in some areas.Ginniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12749133391349265563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30396930.post-56723388619453487982007-09-13T08:54:00.000-08:002007-09-13T08:54:00.000-08:00I remember a conversation at my in-laws home when ...I remember a conversation at my in-laws home when my husband and I were relatively newly married. He felt I should cancel the credit card I had in my own name because we didn't need it: we had plenty of credit, I was on all his accounts, and he was concerned that too many accounts total might lower our credit rating. His mother <I>and his grandmother</I> replied that I should absolutely keep that card because if -- heaven forbid -- anything should happen to him or we should get divorced, I needed to have credit in my own name. <BR/><BR/>17 years later, I still have that account. I use it to buy his Christmas and birthday gifts.Bridget Magnushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048808659359979258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30396930.post-87704830305703272692007-09-13T07:30:00.000-08:002007-09-13T07:30:00.000-08:00I'm glad that we as a culture have outgrown some o...I'm glad that we as a culture have outgrown some of these racist and sexist behaviors, but we still have a way to go.<BR/><BR/>It is cool that the show Mad Men has so captured the essence of 1960.

Also, how much farther we have to go?

He then had to rudely explain to the person on the other end of the phone that they were going the wrong way, they should be going west instead of east, etc. After he hung up, he sighed, "Women drivers". Blech. I wanted my doors more than I wanted to punch him, but not much.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653383372182667361noreply@blogger.com
