Message:: [QUOTE="900fine, post: 701529, member: 6036"]Nonsense. It's long since time to move past this sort of thinking. The doors are wide open. I'm just glad my wife doesn't play the Victim's card. She knows full well that she is welcome at coin shows. She knows she has often recieved preferential treatment because she's a woman... at coin shows and elsewhere. She is also aware that some dealers are inattentive. But rather than snivel that she's being discriminated against <whine> because I'm a woman, she knows full well that is not so. This charge of misogyny is getting old, sasha. Personally, I'm tired of it. It is wrong to level accusations like that. It's time to say it : certain things are male dominated due to the differences between males and females.  Coin collecting is mostly men, and it's not the men's fault. It has nothing to do with oppression of any kind. Don't accuse me of misogyny. If women want to be part of it, COME ON. I have encouraged my wife. It's perfectly fine when something is mostly female. Have you been to the doctor's office ? Are men 50% of the staff ? NO. Is anyone saying "we need more men around here" ? NO. If negative gender stereotypes are so bad, why do men have to put up with so many of them ?[/QUOTE]
