Jaime had to grin, but she kind of liked the enlightened opinion of some of the people coming into this time. Maybe it would catch on and spread. Like a wildfire. If she was lucky.

"You'd like to think that, and I completely agree with you," she assured him. "The majority of guys here though are ... well, guys." She frowned because that hadn't come out right. Zack was a guy, and she wasn't trying to lump him in with them. "It's just ... they don't really think outside the box, you know? Their mom was a housewife, barefoot and pregnant and all that, so obviously their wife should be the same way. Women in the workforce are a joke to them. Like a cute puppy doing tricks or something. They give it a pat on the heads and say 'now go away. Men are working.'"

Jaime shrugged. "There are people starting to make little jabs at trying to change it, but it's a constant uphill battle. We win the right to vote and they think we should be happy with that without wanting more. But ... you know. Baby steps. We'll get there." Jaime didn't think women would ever be on exactly the same level as men, not as long as it remained a male dominated society, but she thought that in twenty, thirty years or so, maybe they'd be allowed to have all the same jobs as men.
