And yes, I know I can always choose to have a different attitude, and I do, at times it is important enough to read something, because it is not really a mans world, because I am trying to fit myself into it. I get past the kicked in the gut for being the wrong gender thing, by mentally substituting the sexist words for friendlier ones, and by putting gender word lists in alphabetical order. 

Much of the time though, the inspiration is lost on me, when something shouts MAN MEN HE, because it makes me think about words like cunt, bitch and feminazi. As well as that, putting up with political incorrectness and downright blatant gender discrimination in the computer industry, did not stop me being mobbed out of my workplaces, making me too unemployable from age 30 to ever get a job again.

This is one of the most famous quotes associated with the civil rights movement. Although it is fair to observe the male gender-bias, that should not take away from a valid point that King Jr. was trying to make in good faith.  Remember, he lived in a time of open segregation and when gender roles were very different.  But it is thanks in no small part to King Jr. that our society has made strides towards equality among all races, and between both genders.  He laid the groundwork for those changes in how he behaved and lead his life.  Not because everything he may have said was politically correct in our time.

You should take to heart the second half his quotation. That’s why the WBI exists, and why we include King Jr.’s quote in our sidebar.
