"How is it that this conditioning is still rampant?" It will continue to be rampant as long as women continue to so condition their daughters.
As Mencken might have said, "There are those who do nothing because they are ignorant and lacking in self-awareness; then there are those who are not ignorant, and have less excuse for lacking self-awareness, but still do nothing, except passively and bitterly complain about disempowerment. They so thoroughly dis-empower themselves that it rarely occurs to them to speak positively of their power, nor remind their fellow-sufferers of how powerful they actually are. When you remind them of how powerful they actually are if they so choose to be, they will tend to tacitly reject the suggestion by focusing once again on the terrible conditioning they were subject to."
Everyday on twitter women are wondering aloud why so many women are supporting men in dresses, and abusing women who don't. There *is* an answer. But I despair about people being willing to do what has to be done to change it. It seems like a huge task...
