Sexist and misogynist attitudes and behavior. Everyone is influenced by this--not just men. For example, think of all the ads on TV for cleaning products. Most still show women using them, reinforcing the message that cleaning is "women's work." We all see these ads, not just men, and they are designed to influence viewers. It's just one example of how the system sends out messages and reinforces views of women and men in society.
