I found your article to be comprehensive and informative. None of what you reported surprises me, Katie. I will say that for those very reasons, I read a lot of fiction, largely historical. I consciously seek out books written by women and about women to learn more about their experiences and perspectives. This has helped me better understand my own views and be more empathetic. I think if more men did this, there would possibly be better attitudes towards women and perhaps would slowly correct for the gender discrimination that exists.
