No. It's not a new multi-purpose lubricant.

Here follows but a selection of verbatim directed to me from 1974 to 2019 :
You can’t be a sailor in the RAN. Girls aren’t allowed on ships.
Here, us girls will have the burnt/ broken pieces of meat.
There are no pockets in the girls' uniform. You’ll need to carry this handbag.
You can’t learn rifle drill or carry a rifle on parade.
You can do sword drill. It’s only ceremonial. Chemistry. Is that a good degree for girls?
You should change you management style to be softer and more nurturing. More like a mum.
Mothers don’t have time to read magazines!
Are you going to give up work?
You've performed extremely well this year! Enjoy this gingerbread house for your children. Do you think the guys in the team will like their fantastic and cool USB cuff links?
Yes, you can take that chair. If you dance on the table for us!
You're still working?
Tongue me for $5.
Who is looking after the children whilst you are away?
You were really out there, weren’t you? Now you are pretty much just Mum.
International Women's Day 2019.
We have come a long way and that is worth celebrating. However, we aren't there yet. Globally - from pay equality, political and business representation to education, health, safety and the right to have a voice, there is much to be done.
Cupcakes are fun and great.
And legislation, policy and action gets us to that better balance.
