I have this picture in my mind of a number of random movies from the '40's-- with a newspaperman, editor, owner, whatever-- being "pushy" as hell to get a story or scoop, or to publish the before unpublishable.

Calling a woman "Pushy" is just ridiculous as well as sexist. Paying her less, unfortunately is par for many fields.

Of course I read on DU that that is a myth.
