There are folks who'e evolved, and those who are not, BFA. If the thread I suspect generated your ire, you have to consider the source of such attitudes. There are a good many losers out there who weren't raised to regard women as equals or respect them. And there are a lot of them who don't actually like women, sad as that is. Yes, men who consider themselves heterosexuals but actually don't like or respect women at all. The world is full of them, and as a young women you need to be on the lookout for them. Has to do with how they were raised and their relationships with women in their families of origin--and often with the prehistoric attitudes modeled for them by their fathers.

When you know that this is a problem that has to do with small-minded losers and not with women themselves, it's fairly easy to write off such stupid, sexist attitudes. They're out there. Always have been. Probably will be for another two or three generations, at least. The sad thing is people with these attitudes actually come in both genders. There are a few sad women out there who believe they're inferior to men, too.

I know it's hard, but letting the pathetic, misogynistic jerks of the world get to you is a victory for them instead of for us. Keep rising above the losers and proving them wrong!
