[speaker001:] We're set.
[speaker002:] Okay.
[speaker001:] What changes do you feel have happened?
[speaker002:] Oh, I guess the first thing has been the, uh, for the right, for women to vote. I think that has been a major change and also the fact that, uh, there are so mu-, many more women in the work force nowadays than there were and that's probably going to increase.
[speaker001:] Right.
[speaker002:] You know.
[speaker001:] Increases each year, doesn't it?
[speaker002:] I'm sorry?
[speaker001:] It increases each year I think.
[speaker002:] It sure does. Yeah, there is a lot more women in the work place nowadays.
[speaker001:] Well, and I think women have kind of had, uh, in the past the real subservient
[speaker002:] Role?
[speaker001:] role.
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] And, uh,
[speaker002:] That's changing [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Well, we do to some degree
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] but, uh, uh, I think it's not as much as it was.
[speaker002:] Right, yeah, I, I agree. It definitely
[speaker001:] I,
[speaker002:] has changed.
[speaker001:] And especially, I think with women increasingly working, they're going to have to demand more [LAUGHTER] from men.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Because there is just, i-, impossible to keep up on everything else.
[speaker002:] Yeah, yeah.
[speaker001:] Have more of an active role in taking care of children, more of an active role in taking care of the home.
[speaker002:] Well, you know, they've been talking about and I don't know, uh, what the status is on it, but, you know, women get maternity leave and stuff like that and I know that they've, there has been discussion about men also getting maternity leave
[speaker001:] Right.
[speaker002:] to help out, but you know, I haven't really heard much about that recently.
[speaker001:] Well, you know, there is a lot of companies that won't give mat-, women maternity leave for that very reason.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Uh, in fact, I know the school districts down here, you, they don't have maternity leave. Uh
[speaker002:] Oh, is that right?
[speaker001:] you simply have to take, accumulate your sick leave.
[speaker002:] Oh.
[speaker001:] And take your sick leave.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] And I don't know, uh, if bigger company companies do, but when I was employed with the school district, I didn't have maternity leave either and that was the reason because they thought was showing prejisim to women and not to men but,
[speaker002:] Huh, that's interesting.
[speaker001:] So, uh,
[speaker002:] That's a bummer, though [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Yeah [LAUGHTER], it is.
[speaker002:] I mean,
[speaker001:] You have to save all of your, uh, vacation time.
[speaker002:] You got to take the time off [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] You do. You have to save all your vacation time and
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] that's usually how it's, uh, happened, but, uh,
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] What do you see, uh, changing in the future?
[speaker002:] [Breathing] I think that we're probably going to see a lot more companies, uh, run by females.
[speaker001:] Right, and, and
[speaker002:] And we'll prob-,
[speaker001:] top level.
[speaker002:] I'm sorry?
[speaker001:] Maybe top level.
[speaker002:] Right, right, upper management, more women in upper management and probably, uh, we'll see more females in political roles. More governors and, I think, you know, roles like that.
[speaker001:] That would be kind of nice [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Well, we've got, in Texas, we have a female governor.
[speaker001:] That's right, that's right.
[speaker002:] And we had a female mayor here in Dallas, and she just, her term just ended and, uh, so I think we're probably going to see more of that
[speaker001:] Yeah
[speaker002:] in the future [faint].
[speaker001:] I think that's probably good. A little more integration.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] And, uh, maybe not so much that we sit on the back burners and,
[speaker002:] Right, you know, I mean, and that's fine with me
[speaker001:] I think,
[speaker002:] but sometimes, I mean I'm not a women's libber by any means, but
[speaker001:] Right.
[speaker002:] I do, there are issues that, you know, as far as, like, equal pay for men and women and that kind of stuff, I totally am for.
[speaker001:] Right.
[speaker002:] But, I don't get into the, uh, the real [LAUGHTER]
[speaker001:] No, I don't either.
[speaker002:] women libber movement, you know.
[speaker001:] I don't think they're ever going to prove that men and women are equal [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] We just function differently [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Right, right.
[speaker001:] And, uh, I'm not capable of lifting what, uh, a man can lift and
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] you know, that type of, that type of thing, but, uh
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] one of the big changes, uh, they're doing in Salt Lake is, uh, and they're probably, I'm sure, in Dallas since you're big places, a lot more women are, uh, working right out of their home with their P C's or with their lap computers or whatever.
[speaker002:] Yeah, I, I've heard of that. Uh, I haven't really talked to anybody that's, you know, too involved with that. But, I mean, I think that is a,
[speaker001:] I think that,
[speaker002:] Like the cottage industry. Is, is that what you're talking about, women working out of their homes?
[speaker001:] Right.
[speaker002:] Yeah, uh, I think it's wonderful [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Right. You only have to check in with the office once or twice a week and,
[speaker002:] Yeah.
[speaker001:] Course, they're talking about, uh, that we're going to be able to do our grocery shopping and [LAUGHTER]
[speaker002:] Oh, I kn-,
[speaker001:] banking and
[speaker002:] By the phone and all that.
[speaker001:] everything like that, so, uh, it would be kind of exciting in some ways to, to see a little bit more of that and some ways, it might be kind of [LAUGHTER] scary.
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] Think anybody could do it, but,
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] Anyway,
[speaker002:] Yeah, I wouldn't mind just calling up the grocery store and giving them my order and
[speaker001:] Right.
[speaker002:] going an hour later and picking it up [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Right, but then you know, there is the process of selection. Would you have to give them [breathing]
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] the brand and, uh, *slash error
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] You know, when you shop, you usually compare the prices and, would be nice, though.
