Yeah, I did. Sorry about that.

But even still. the word does have a value connotation when we're discussing hierarchy. I don't believe there's a women's hierarchy, but I can see that some people want to impress one upon us.

To them I say: my experiences as a woman are numerous - nearly 20 years worth - and since I'm not going around telling people what's in my pants, they're just as valid as any other woman's.
