I went to a small arts college that was 80% women--if you'd asked me about sexism then, I could have pointed to one or two incidences, but it wasn't my biggest issue. After 25 years in the work-force, it's much more front and center.

The cookies incident from 1992 really stuck out for me then too, although I was disinterested in politics at the time, the backlash that went on and on from that in the media is still a memory that I have.
