1. Women are the subject of ridicule and stereotypes. They're routinely trivialized and marginalized.
Edited on Sat Mar-07-09 06:59 PM by Captain Hilts
I went to the movies two days ago - The International - and before the movie there were several previews. In only one did a woman have a significant role - Julia Roberts. The rest were all men. People just aren't interested in what women have to say and they don't want women guiding the conversation.

We don't trust a woman to host a game show. Or a talk show other than one shown in the afternoon. Did the world really ask for Jimmy Falon to host a late night show?

Only FOURTEEN percent of the op eds in the Washington Post are written by women.

Something like 75% of all Disney characters are seen as male.
