she is a former chief justice of the SCV, i think she probably chooses her words carefully. if she felt her gender was a burden - that being first in a role like that felt like a weight, at times - again it is not my place to say she's wrong

sure, which is why i included detail re the legal profession, in warren's time, being male-dominated and hostile to/exclusionary of women, and her reflections on her retirement that despite improvements there was much work still to do

because that is exactly how she described it. it’s not for me to tell her how she feels.
