Is the way women are presented in society an issue that bears some responsibility as well? For example, on sports stations you can have older/fatter men as hosts or reporters, but most of the women have a certain look. Comic books sexualize the female characters to a ridiculous degree. and on and on. Obviously the men who do these things should get 100% of the blame, but I wonder if women are not being respected enough because quite often their looks are the focus for many industries which may be subconsciously affecting how society views them.
