    1st, let me say, welcome aboard, you came to the right place. To clarify right off, this issue is not gender related. You want to hear horror stories of gender related abuse, my ex-gf started trucking in the 80s, and the stories she told would curl your hair. We see a slew of people shafted by schools and companies, and doesn't matter who you are, insurance has a pretty tight grip on who gets in. Don't give up, you have your foot in the door, and don't get too hung up on hooking( as long as it's correct) or backing, you find out pretty quick what works and what doesn't. If you can, go to these places, and Lord knows, Chinatown has a virtual Rolodex of companies that need you, and it may take a few"swings", but I think you are on your way. I too would suggest a women's group like Brandt mentioned, if for no other reason, it gives you the confidence you so sorely need in something like this. Don't give up, eh?:thumbup:
    Oh, one more thing, we don't enforce the "grammar police" thing here,,,;)

    That wasn’t a grammar issue. That was a stream of consciousness rant about an imagined slight

    OP said it was voice-to-text. Yes it was hard to understand parts of it.

    Hmmmm....that feels a little chauvenistic. I mean one's BS tolerance varies from individual to individual, regardless of gender. I mean.....you gotta be somewhat compliant if you want to last in the industry.
