And it should not be the facts of 2014. It should not be the way things are. You you know, theres been a lot of discussion around the opportunities for women and obviously weve grown you cant see 20 women in the United States senate and not think that were making some progress. But we have to think not only about those women in professional occupations but those women who are our school cooks and our janitors, like my mother, those women who are working every day at the diner to put food on on the table to to put food on their familys table and food on the table of their patrons.
