The analysis of how these dynamics belittle girls hits the nail right on the head.
I think it belittles us all. People seem to think that something like women not getting paid as much as men (which isn't quite the case they claim) only affects women. But, those women are often in relationships with men, right? It affects all relationships. Similarly, if a couple get divorced it is pretty much automatic that the kids will go with the mother - why? There are so many issues with not being sensitive to the environment.
