My oldest daughter owns and operates a business that is typically "male only". (Surveying/civil engineering) She's succeeded beyond everyone's wildest dreams. I've heard (on numerous occasions) men talk down to her in a VERY condescending manner, acting as if they knew everything and she wasn't capable of doing her job. Those men, as often as not, didn't know as much as my daughter, and their results bore that out. She used to stand her ground and argue her side. Now she just let's 'em go on thinking they know it all. Even the well meaning usually come off as belittling her. I know of several instances where men have (in their words) "kindly offered their advice", but facts be known, were VERY condescending towards Isabella.

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
