7. There is a whole old-fashioned set of beliefs

that "the man must be the protector of the woman". It has been ingrained in most of this country's myriad of cultures for millennia.

Whenever women make some progress here in the U.S., it's immediately "retracted" (see the "Rosie the Riveters" of the WWII '40s, suddenly objectified and infantilized by the '50s, and I hate to say, by the "Barbie" doll culture).

When women protested in the '60s and '70s, the "feminists" were (and continue to be) trashed and insulted (e.g., Rash Limpballs would call them "Femi-Nazis" ). The '90s and '00s finally saw more and more women getting elected to Congress and gradually getting into the Fortune 500 as leaders, and some of these lunkhead backward men have had enough. And in comes their "God-Emperor" to set things straight.
