I have a theory about our nation's misogyny which may be too simplistic, but keeps coming back up in my mind.

59. If you watch a lot of movies from different eras within a short time span,

it becomes very obvious that movies from different eras are propagating certain attitudes. In some cases they may be reflecting what's already out there in the world they're portraying, but it very often appears that they are selling certain values and attitudes.

I'm sure that multiple causes play into this result, but bear in mind that much if not most of our media has been actively recruited and sometimes even infiltrated by government agencies to, e.g., help drum up or maintain support for a war, or improve the agency's image (a relatively recent example: "Black Panther," in which the CIA is black people's savior -- when's the last time you heard of that happening in reality!)

(A rather shocking number of the pundits appearing in the MSM are also CIA or "ex-" CIA -- the affiliation is an open secret, but it's easy to miss hearing it.)
