[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's apparent that it runs incredibly deep in this country, where a woman's professional status is put under a significantly higher scrutiny than a man's, or the standards for which she could be put in the same professional level with a man (or higher) are impossibly unrealistic. She will never be "enough" even compared to males with mediocrity.

If we can somehow avoid talking about politics, [b]can we please have a serious discussion about how deep misogyny runs in America (and yes, much more than many other places--or at least in different ways) and how we can successfully combat it? [/b]Is it possible? What do you think works well in other countries? What can we do here?

The reason we can't have a productive discussion about this, OP, is because you are assuming two conclusions which the majority of Americans simply don't agree with: 1) that the U.S. is deeply misogynistic country; and 2) that the U.S. is a uniquely misogynistic country.[/quote]

Why does the US have to be uniquely misogynistic for us to want better for our own society?[/quote]

It doesn't, of course. It's the childish "well, Ethan's parents let him do it so why can't I?"[/quote]

Exactly![/quote]
