Thanks. It was serious. I see it now. Yes, punctuation and grammar do help when communicating. Thanks again.

(Or, should I have said instead,

thanks it was serious i see it now yes punctuation and grammar do help when communicating thanks again

> There is a sector which in many cultures is traditionally female when it comes to both design and execution: clothing. And it’s a field where in those same cultures women were expected to design and make products just as part of “woman’s work”. Being good enough to do it for pay was extra, every woman was supposed to at least know the basics. There have simply been a lot more fields where designers were expected to be male; changing that mindset is something which has already taken generations and will take several more.

Agree completely. That is what I said too.
