Personally, I have always felt that our female ancestors weren't being given their proper place in history. I'm sure that was thanks to my mom, who had been raised to not take crap from anyone and thanks to that I was always brought up to think that girls could do anything us boys could do.

Mom was an army brat and my Grandmother would tell us stories about the waves mom would make, like during one x-mas party. The army guys had gifts for the kids, doctor kits for the boys and nurse kits for the girls. Apparently my mom made the biggest fuss, turning into a shouting fest between her and the ones handing out the toys. She wanted to be a doctor, and wouldn't take no. They finally gave her one, but only after they made sure that all the boys had gotten one first, which of course pissed her off in and of itself.

Well, I'm rambling on, and unfortunately my head is hurting something fierce, so I've got to take some more meds.
