Misogyny and Sexism in the News

I shutter to think of what these young men may grow up to be.

The City I live in now shares a Fire Chief with the City of Piedmont. The city where we live has a public school system where the students do well academically and is very similar to the Piedmont public school system. Apparently money cannot buy humanity, civility or an expectation of decency for young women, girls.

Unfortunately, some of these young men will grow up to be the leaders, the objecifiers, the rapists, the perpetrators of domestic violence, and the oppressors of future generations of women.

The really sad part is that the premise behind this is not much different from Zuckerburgs thinking when he created facebook.
