And it's your patting us on the head and telling us that we're just being silly that pisses us off even more.

Yes - O'Conner was discriminated against when she got out. Even though she was number three in her class at Stanford (Rehnquist was #1) she had a really tough time finding a job. But how infuriating? Where you not aware that there was serious sexism in the U.S. in the 1950s?

Uh. Yeah. I heard about it once or twice. It may have even extended
past the 1950s.

Since when is being called a cowgirl an insult? My mother grew up on a ranch, and she likes to be called a cowgirl. She used to compete in Rodeos and thinks it is a compliment. To show she can compete with the cowboys.

I grew up on a ranch too. If I'm herding cattle, I don't mind being called a cowgirl either, though I prefer rancher. When I'm practicing law, my ranching activities are irrelevent.
And I'd be irritated about being called "old" or "simple" regardless of whether or not they were talking about my ranching skills or my legal skills.

Here is Bush and Frist tying to compliment her and you guys freak out. And what does the makeup of the court have to do with it? The phrase would be OK if there were more Women? That doesn't make any sense at all. Either the phrase is bigoted or it is not.
Lighten up Francis.

Oh, get the little lady a cold compress! She's hysterical.
