but plenty of role models on TV We were working along with Mary Tyler Moore and then there was Maude. A lot of that influenced men and made them accept woman more than a lot of shows today.

But I had my share of meetings were guys would call me debbie like in debbie does Dallas until I got a cup with my name on an and basically hit any guy who called me Debbie with my cup - read it and call me by that name!!! And meetings in rooms where men had porno up on their walls and when I complained was told to lighten up - one great thing about being a consultant is I didn't have to complain, I could just laugh because I knew I earned twice as much as those guys with their porno and when I went home, he stayed behind working unpaid over time. There were many times when I found another consultant, make made more than me, and all I had to do was call up my agent and tell them I would come back when I earned at least as much. pfft.

If it is not as golden now, I sort of blame the girls that claim they are not feminists as a large part of the problem. I marched and I complained and acted - why are these young woman accepting of this crap?
