My gods, it was awful. According to a lot of guys, any female candidate for the Court was going to be sifted from all the people in the country, have to prove superhuman powers, turn water into wine, heal the sick at a touch.... By the time they were done it was clear no woman would ever qualify. What they didn't recognize was that no man would, either -- it's just that no man would ever be held to those standards in the first place.

I'm with Her.
