Then to drive home his sexist point, he asserted that her design was better suited to 'Ladies Home Journal' and one would have to be entirely blind to miss the use of gender as a means to belittle. Now I recognize that both George and Gene are over 60 year old American males who cannot transcend their frame of references but they really should know better by now.
