It wasn’t advertised. OP says the label didn’t indicate this was there.

Aren’t the majority of people in general more excited about family and relationships than about their careers? Most jobs nowadays aren’t exactly inspiring.

There’s a difference between using it as an adjective and a noun.

Requesting “a female doctor” is not as bad as requesting “a female.”

I wanted an older sibling as a child and I remember trying to convince my parents they should have another baby. In my mind, if I just waited (my age +1) years, I’d then have an older sibling. It never ocurred to me that I would also age during that time…

I was thirteen years old when I went to the doctor by myself because a cut on my eyelid wasn’t healing. I was asked about my birth control, sexual activity, and whether I thought I could be pregnant (after saying I’ve never had sex) then pushed out of the examination room after NOT having my eye examined at all.

As an adult, I realize now how terrible that was and I would have done something about it if it had happened to me today. But at the time I was so embarrassed and hurt, I just pushed all thought of it away until years later.

The next generation. They seem to be standing up for themselves more, they’re speaking up about their issues, they’re refusing to just roll over and be obedient little wage slaves. Millenials like me might be beyond hope, but the next generation gives me hope.

Hard cheeses, yes. Soft cheeses, no.
