weak. That they think that putting up with sexual harassment is just life. Like having your husband beat you sometimes used to be for women (I'm sure for some of them it still is). This is all they know. They are supporting their men-because they believe and know probably their lives depend on it. I came from a mother that was husband by my father and I never came to understand her. In the end (she's finally been released from this life) I think it was literally mental illness. All these women aren't mentally ill-but still-if you think that your not equal to men-what is that? Is that a normal way to think?
