people put so much energy into perpetuating it and defending it. Still,
understanding the world we live in can be an important first step in
overcoming our limitations within that world. Not easy, not fun, but
important. I've never been convinced that technology will just whisk all
of that away, otherwise it would have happened by now.

It seems to me that one reason it remains is because half of the equation
has blinders on. Why is male chauvinism boring, but misandry entertaining?
