there is actually an interesting video that tackles this phenomenon. it was a simple question about hillary running for president and they would interview women on the street... the women would decline to answer, or, if they happened to be with their male counterpart, they would try to get him to answer for them! it was actually sad to see and it happened more often than not. this is an issue that goes beyond tfp and just the social fabric of how we were raised. also take into consideration women didn't get the vote until what, the '20s? We were always 2nd class citizens for many centuries. This kind of stuff doesn't just doesn't change over night... I mean, we're in the 21st century, we have the first Black president, but we are still so behind on gay rights, for example, and roe v. wade is also being threatened by pro choicers, etc. etc. I don't know where exactly i'm going with this.. but yeah, it is an issue, and it's interesting to see.
I appreciate you trying to shake the status quo, abaya.
now if i can find that video..
