In reply to the discussion: Will men ever start seeing woman as people first, sex objects last? [View all]Egalitarian Thug
(12,448 posts)Just look at this thread. Granted that most of it is caused by the usual minority, but there are so many things to overcome in order for it to happen. Just starting with every major religion, almost everyone has sexism/male dominance ingrained from birth. Our economy sells it and therefore enforces it, and our social lives are frequently ruled by it.
The guy up-thread that said that, since some women use it to their advantage, there's no harm in it, probably isn't that bad a person, but just can't quite get there, even as a member of a commonly ostracized class.
And as hard as I try, Ms. Thug frequently has to bring it to my attention (of course, my unlikely background puts me at a disadvantage here, but that's another story). So I really don't know how to improve it except one person at a time.
