Vannakkam: Misogyny and chauvinism exist in every society, as do racism, classism, and a ton of other isms. In some societies, it's 'behind closed doors' more than in others. I see it as the lower nature coming to the forefront, and about all we can do is set an example by treating all humans we encounter with dignity.

Sometimes I feel that segregation of the genders to the degree it is in India and elsewhere is a contributing factor. Once we actually sit down and have a real talk with a person of the other gender, we often realise the inherent intelligence or soul nature. But I could be wrong.
