I hate to ask the proverbial "loaded question," but do you think "our
society has changed" for the better or worse wrt the aforementioned

matter?

I'll chime in here

Chime on in, Hans. "All are welcome!"

, and suggest that it is very much for the better. Many
employees in my group are female in traditionally male job titles
(engineers, managers, etc.). Their performance, professionalism, and
contributions to our success are completely comparable to their male
counterparts.

I agree.

On a more personal note, one of my daughters no longer has a husband and
is
raising 4 fine kids comfortably because she pursued a technical education
and career. In the "good old days" she would not have been able to do so,
and her financial picture would have been much more bleak.

Hats off to your daughter and my wishes for her continued success. I have a
precocious six year old who has proclaimed that she wants to be an eye
doctor. While far to early for any of us (Particularly said precocious one.)
to be really know what career path she'll eventually take, we ARE thankful
that said path is there for her to choose.
