Realistic view of what women in pan struggle with

[@geraldstlouis5256]

My MOTHER carried me for.9 mths, I really have never understood the limitations placed on women by narrow male minds... On the topic of women in pan, Imagine this: Panorama Finals, As band after band line up on stage, just before their performance, ALL WOMEN, ALL FEMALE PANNIST WALK OUT OF THEIR BANDS AND STAND ON THE SIDE...Hmmmm. then, ALL WOMEN IN THE GRAND and NORTH also WALK OUT...Hmmm..Wait nah yu still hav dotish ideas bout woman in pan ? Wheyyyy.
