In the Western world, I think 80% of people would say they believe both sexes are just as important, but I think 80% of people behave as if they subconsciously strongly believe women are less important. This is especially apparent in meetings. How much can we change? All of it in one generation, if everybody simultaneously stopped teaching their children these behaviours. As it is I would reckon between five and fifteen generations, as long as nothing disastrous happens e.g. the far right invents a mind control ray.
Why do you think feminism concentrates its efforts in the West? I think the opposite is true, that feminists currently make most effort and most progress in the poorest countries, especially in South Asia and some parts of Africa, where there is most obvious need for change and more unhappiness to fuel action. |
