One of the things women have to be careful is letting ongoing misogyny make them irrevocably bitter. Sure, there are a lot of men who make you want to holler about their attitudes, but you move on and seek out those who are not this way, you don’t wallow in it.

I’ve done this racially as well. Imus’s remarks, not getting a promotion I should have, at some point you have to get pro-active and constructive about what you cannot control.
