My mother was a business woman in the 1940’s to the 1960’s. Pretty lonely place if you’re a woman back then. She told us she got chased around the table by men more than once, but her attitude was that you deal with it and move forward rather than whine or complain. She and my dad were dirt poor. I mean zero as in hungry poor. They raised four successful kids, met many famous Americans including 3 Presidents, and brought home hitchhiking servicemen of all races for dinner all the time. My dad was beat up for his ethnicity growing up. He never held a grudge. That’s my example, and that’s my America. What’s yours?
