I lived in California in the 90s when Kathleen Brown, the sister of Jerry Brown, was running for governor.

I was at a meeting and a man sitting next to me said: we already have two female senators so now we are going to add also a female governor? And I just looked at him and made a similar comment: you did not have a problem when the governor, the senators and members of the house were all men, now, did you?
