I am older than dirt. This happened in 1972, at that time the word neurosexist didn't exsist. And most women had no clue of what discrimination in the work place was all about.
In the latter part of the seventies, all h*ll brokem loose, women were standing up and demanded to be counted. Unfortunately, the movement fizzeled.
Today, women still make only 82% of what men make for the exact same position.
As a side note, I left that guy in my dust, that job was only one rung on my ladder to a sucessful career.
