Now that I think of the gender bias, I think I am definatley bias. I always prefer male teachers, bosses, co workers, doctors, and the list goes on. I whine/bitch/moan alot less when the males play the parts. Maybe I dont feel I have to compete with other females? Not sure.

Females need to be tough and earn their spot in a previously male-dominated field... somewhat like law-enforment and business and politics.
