History of Feminism

This was an uncommon experience, for we men to hear a woman speak of this. Men usually joke about how frequently they do it, but women don't discuss it (at least among the menfolk).

Note that I worked in a mostly-male environment - an engineering department - the mix was about 200 men to maybe 12 women.

She was a very bright engineer, and what one would refer to as a 'hot shit' for her sense of humor and strong personality. Everyone liked her. We didn't think of her as anything like a nymphomaniac, just an exceptionally honest and outspoken person. She was also quite attractive. She never dated men from work (which always seemed like a wise policy to me) although several had asked her out after her divorce.

While I worked with her, for a period of maybe 12 years before she moved out of state, she divorced her husband and dated what would be considered a typical amount for a single mom - maybe one or two guys in a couple of years. She never remarried.

I think that maybe back in the day she would have been judged negatively, but this was a highly educated group of people. We all liked her and wished her well when she moved on. I'm still in contact with her through FB.
