How could someone honestly think, yeah, I'm OK with women not being paid the same for the same work, and I don't think women really need the same educational opportunities as men, and I don't think domestic violence is wrong, and in fact I just really think that women are less important than men and it doesn't really matter what happens to them.
I especially don't get that woman in the video who said something along the lines of I guess a feminist is someone who supports equal rights for women, and then the interviewer asked if she connsidered herself one, and she said no. Because, you know, women should be inferior, which is exactly what her husband said next, essentially.
And my view is that if you don't consider yourself a feminist, then that's basically saying that you think women are and should be inferior to men, and I just don't get how anybody can think that way. I mean, I think that attitude, and that kind of inequality, are actually bad for men, too. But I really don't get why a woman would think that.
It is essentially saying that it'd OK for half of humanity to be considered less-human than the other half, and not entitled to the same rights. And it's one thing (still unacceptable, but not as unimaginable) for someone to think that way when they're in the privileged half, but I just don't get why someone would think that way when they're not.
Sigh.

It boggled the mind, because here were more or less outwardly liberated women seeking to be acculturated into submission.
I couldn't watch more than 30 seconds of it, but Barbara sat through a longer spell, in sick fascination I suppose. Can the last politician to go out the revolving door please turn the lights off?
