I graduated high school in 1968, I still have the results of aptitude test they gave us. As a man the fields I should look into were engineering and a couple of other high paying ‘male’ careers, but as a female, it said Sunday school teacher or interior decorator, for the same test results. Both my girls got their masters in male dominated fields.
Back in the ’70s I lived in California and the Burbank Fire Department got new fire trucks and new logos etc. And just like LA is used in place of Los Angeles, they also shortened the name to the initials. Should have asked one teen boy… Of course, they did a new paint job, but to this day, I will say Burbank Fire Department in certain situations.
What is the big deal? Now boots go in the floor right by the bed (you know ‘cause they might have horse poop on them) and hat on the bedpost where the cowboys and girls hang them so they don’t get crushed. Perfectly reasonable. I made a lot of my daughter’s costumes and my grandson’s that doubled as PJ’s.
