Nick, Men make the laws. Men rule the country. Men hold most public and private government offices. Men hold most of the CEO positions. Men control most of the airplanes, automobilies, roads, boats, water, and land. Men control most of the airwaves and radio waves. They control and direct most of what goes on tv, is heard on the radio, and plays in our movie theaters and live theaters. Man invented the bra, the panty, and the high heeled shoe. The male human runs most of the United States-I'd estimate that at least 65 to 75% of it is entirely controlled by the adult white upper class protestant male. That male (or those males) run our stocks, control our economy, and start/end/fight in our wars. Despite the small steps that the feminist movement and civil rights movement and equal rights movement have taken, we are still run by white upper class protestant males. Women have the right to vote, but it is still the electoral college that counts. Women can have the same jobs (sometimes), but still make 70 cents to the dollar. Women may have a career, but are still expected to make babies and stay home to care for them. Women may enjoy sex freely, but are still labeled as sluts or whores for doing so (and not in the good way). The United States is run by men. Your personal small existence may be run by your female companion, but the rest of the country is not. And to believe otherwise is to dig yourself a very large hole.
