And, as a woman, I think the "gender equality" argument for this is insane. I am not offended that my gender is not mentioned in the anthem. I AM offended that I make 60% of what my male peers make, with the same education and same work experience. If gender equality truly is part of the motivation for this change (which I have heard conflicting reports about), then there are much more important places to be starting, IMO.
Wait your a woman?

How you doin?
