When we start feeling sorry for ourselves we need to do a little research. I have been reading a few Pearl Buck novels that I bought at an auction. They tell about life in China and mention "foot-binding" which was not outlawed until 1902, according to Wikipedia.
We women can now have productive careers, choose our own husbands, and walk easily! Foot-binding, which was a form of striving for beauty, was common for evidently hundreds of years. It was also a method of making sure that women didn't have power or become threats. Reading about it is ghastly and scary and almost unbelievable. Go to http://community.livejournal.com/scans_daily/1791599.html and read the comic strip Flinch that you'll find there and do a little research at Wikipedia and you'll feel that you want to get up and walk and run and you'll feel so happy that we live in a country that respects women!
How does this relate to real estate? It makes me glad that I am respected as a business woman and as a REALTOR.
