Any doubt after watching this shit show all summer until now, how women are treated professionally? [View all]

How they are held to a higher standard?

How disgusting sexist comments and sexist tactics are used?

Is this an eye opener?

It's not for me... but maybe for some they are finally getting how entrenched sexism and misogyny is in our culture.

For hell, men presidents have cheated on their wives and the women they cheated with were never brought into a debate hall.

But for the woman who was victim of her husbands cheating, she's the one who gets the glorious treatment.

This country is fucked, it has a sexist and misogynistic culture so ingrained that we barely notice it or let it seep into our consciousness unless we really think about it.

What to do?? Think about it.. make a difference, stop denying it would be the first step for many!
