: Rare breed for a woman to build and paddle her own kayak, maybe. But it has

: because she is a woman. Could most likely come from seeing things in terms
: of "muscle" and misunderstanding what makes for ability. And I
: won't even mention how foolish to think people over 40, over, 50, over,
: 60, over even 70 are somehow more "feeble" becuase of just that
: fact.

Even the best of us is capable of sterotyping, racism, sexism... what's scary is when people start believing it's the truth. Luckily there is a steady stream of heros that remind us what is possible versus what is probable. Thanks Liz for reminding me again.
