Given that the shop owner was female, it was presumably easy for those involved to reassure themselves that she was there to share new modes of personal expression. Some embarrassment about the fact that the speaker was a shop owner must have been felt by the organizers, however, because...

Maybe not to the thrilled parents, or the hundreds of journalists on goo-goo detail outside the Madrid clinic where the princess was born. But yes, the Spanish constitution would definitely have preferred un hombre.
