Thanks, great anecdote. I knew many women in the engineering sector (I was mainly in aerospace) who didn't take all the 'affirmative action stuff' too seriously, were great engineers and great professionals, but there was always a cohort of aggressive aggrieved types, who were often humorless and ambitious, who used it as a political tool. On a side note, I was seriously considering doing an MBA at Harvard in the early 90s (I had the grades, etc) and in the end I didn't, and remained technical and am REALLY glad I did. Harvard. Wow, did I dodge a bullet there.
