"The master" doesn't have to be a person, it's anything that triggers a shift in our way of thinking...in this case "the blob in the black sweater". I agree, if I hadn't been ready to shift my attitude I would probably have been offended by his remark. Dina,

Seems most ( a lot of) the new doctors are women. The Prof. who thought "girls" getting married & pregnant shouldn't go to med school, happened in 1981. Yes, attitude HAS changed.

The things with sentences such as "no one is looking at you" is that they can free you in the sense that you describes or straighten the insecurities . I really feel that it was your decision that influenced you and not his words. I really liked your post.

Your comment was relevant to the post. I imagine the attitude towards women pre-med students may have changed by now? How long ago was your daughter there? bikehikebabe,

The Prof. said he didn't like girls in pre-med because they got married, had babies and the education was wasted. She left Stanford after two yrs. We learned that life isn't always fair.
