Depends on the field.
  I wanted to work in education, special ed.
  But... I was a man. I still am a man. I was encouraged not to.
  I could've done it anyway and I have no regrets going into the
  fields I went into.In fact, I can *still* go into that field.
  But... there's gender barriers in many professions.
  I don't have a problem with gender inequality being pointed out
  though. I'm doing it too right here.
