Very true, but please remind yourself that as an American, you're living in one of the least misogynist countries of the world.[/quote]

No I think western countries are the some of the worst.  If you look at Italian villages, a lot of them include the elderly.  They have village/town celebrations and everyone is included, there is value in the older generation including women which has been studied and shown to add value to their life.  Within other European/Asian cultures its the same, there is value there, not so in western culture.

Western culture values youth and appearance above all else.  Even the females have misogynist attitudes and they don't even realise it, its so ingrained in them.  The younger women show disdain towards the older females just as much as men without realising it will be them in a few years. Females show disdain toward other females if they aren't as attractive.  Its really sad.

I just listened to a co-worker describing her friends life which sounded like something out of 50 shades of grey.  This woman has long hair, wears tight clothing, wears heels, talks about how she has to clean excessively and is a whore in the bedroom.  The men love it, its all tick, tick, tick, what men want in a woman.  No America is not the least misogynist, its one of the worst. [/quote]

Totally agree. I'm an American and it took me decades to see this.[/quote]

I remember reacting in a college class when a fully primped up white woman talked about the way hijab-wearing women were oppressed and that even if they CHOSE to dress that way, they had given in to male oppression. I pointed out that women everywhere do this, the standards of what is desired is just different. She COULD not see that she was subject to the same kind of brainwashing, even if the resulting look was different.[/quote]

Totally agree. One culture wants its women to look like Barbie prostitutes and the other wants it’s women to look like nuns. It’s all about what the men want, and the women comply. Why so many rules about what we should wear?[/quote]
