For instance the large corporation I work for - women seem to enjoy equaity with men but in many small companies - I still hear of harrasment as the norm (until they get sued I guess). As far as ones self image being limiting... what I am extrapulating of this post. I think ones own image is absolutly limiting or freeing.

They're entitled to their opinion, as you are of yours. I think it's important to stand behind what you believe in. You couldn't have summed this post up better than with this: "You play like the guys and are labeled as a bitch, play nice and stay behind."

I had no idea it was this bad. Like Vered, I hope the results would be different here. Lori, thanks for the heads up! I had no idea it was this bad.

Wow. So this was done in Glasgow - I'm curious to know if it's representative of other western countries, because if it is, then I'm scared.

I've been a firefighter and I'm a senior martial artist -- those things were unheard of for women a few years ago. Unfortunately the heart of humans can be a wily beast that passes cultural norms on to the children: "<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/scotland/edinburgh_and_east/8516387.stm" rel="nofollow">Violence against women is justified, says pupil study</a>."

It's the little things that can mean a lot. I like your contrast and distinction between the big wins and the subtler, on-going wins. It’s the little things that can mean a lot.
