It is a fact that there are 'beliefs' that promote women as inferior and objects to men. Unless it is addressed in society through education it will only get worse.  It's kind of sad that women feel so threatened and not listened to that they feel they have to speak out with movements.
I forget who it was now, one of the Nordic countries I think (Norway/Sweden?) had an interesting idea that male migrants had to take classes about the culture and society and behaviour towards women as part of the process of immigration. There was a documentary about it a while back. They discussed things like a woman not being a prostitute just because she was wearing a short skirt (something they might not have seen where they came from). I don't know if it's making a difference but it seemed a good route to try to integrate people into new cultures.
The problem does seem to persist through generations though, as witnessed in Rotherham. |
And European women are becoming guinea-pigs - test-subjects and the outcome is not guaranteed. I believe growing-up with such attitudes is too ingrained and almost impossible to change. What is that expression - ‘if you show me the boy I will show you the man’. I think it is too late once they reach a certain point. And it’s women who often pay the price.
