LOL... Back then it never occurred to me to make a joke out of it. I was irritated by the comment, and if I had turned it around instead I could have been grinning about the comeback. Most engineers back then never had some creepy old engineer looking down their blouse when they were trying to explain how they calculated some solution they were proposing. I was the only woman in my engineering group, and just didn't know how to respond when those sorts of things happened. One of my biggest pleasures is watching my two stepdaughters and two daughters-in-law kick back in ways that never even occurred to me when I was their age. I'm happy beyond words at how many things have changed. Not one of them is a delicate little girl.
