Yes, women have been able to get past many barriers. There are women CEO’s, we have a woman running as a serious candidate for President; women continue to break through glass ceilings and floors (the floor is actually more difficult than the ceiling and is the invisible barrier for many women of color, and in some parts of this country, LGBT women-they can’t even get in the rooms of power, not to mention shattering any ceilings.) At the same time, anyone paying attention can see that America has gone backwards, not forwards, when it comes to treatment of gender. There are serious examples of sexism in America, among them, the recent advice to young girls about what type of swimsuit is good for their prepubescent bodies, but let’s agree, America culture has reverted to the era of “Mad Men,” without the poodle skirts.
