Interesting article. "Young men as conservative as their fathers." "The majority of men, up to 90% in some places expected to control their wives' freedoms, from clothing to how often the couple had sex." "70% of women wanted to work but felt men should have the priority where work is scarce." "Yet if father's had more liberal attitudes their younger son's were more likely to as well." It's about patriarchal religious conditioning.

A very high figure for the 21st century. And so the cycle continues. An interesting article which demonstrates how things don't change because men don't want to.

These men don't want to change - they like having it all their way - It's no more complicated that that in my opinion.

They shout loudly about white mans' racism whilst at the same time practicing the worst kind of sexism - big fat hypocrites who don't care - they just want everything their way.

I could never respect such 'values' that only exist to suit men.

Then some soft touch Austrian politician has a bright spark of an idea - let's not expect such people who choose to come to our countries to integrate with us - let us integrate with them. Wow.

Who knows maybe he isn't such a soft touch - just a sexist pig sympathiser.
