Womankind has come a long way.  But we still have a long way to go, don't we?  Today we get serious and talk about our experiences with sexism and how we try and guide our children so that this problem lessens when they are adults.  During our conversation, we enjoyed two beers from Duclaw Brewing from Rosedale, Maryland.
