The glass ceiling
Found this article interesting, as I didn't realise the phrase the "glass ceiling" was coined by one individual.

On a similar note, am watching some old Bond films that are being shown on TV (Roger Moore era at present) and the way women are depicted, even KGB, is now a bit toe curling in its sexism. I've also noticed that in modern films (of every genre) there is no shortage of strong capable female characters. Which is good.

When I look back, my Dad and my uncles were all pretty chauvinistic, just the way it was back then. As a species we have evolved and become more and more civilised, there is a perfect balance somewhere that we will reach.
