It's interesting that in little pockets of our lives, we encounter people who still exhibit backward thinking. I was watching the TV show Masters of Sex the other day. (For those not familiar, it's a TV show about the famous sex study team of William Masters and Virginia Johnson.) Though it's a fictionalized TV series, it accurately captures the sexist, misogynistic, and dismissive attitudes toward women in the 1950s and 60s. See, also, Mad Men. You'd think that today, with all of our evolved and enlightened thinking, we'd be better than that. But we're not. These attitudes creep up in small but potent ways.
