Lovelyivy, I've agreed with everything you have said, but this comment sort of bothers me and that might partly be because I'm detecting some hostility. As a white woman, I've really not complained about anything, but believe me, in my field (law) in a town like Chicago where the legal community is very conservative, even white women face tons and tons of barriers, and maybe even more so because we're not appealing in that we don't add to a firm's minority count which is something that is usually publicized. We're just white women. Sometimes I think we fall through the cracks, although I'm not complaining at all, just making an observation.
