Ditto to everything you said. I would add that “sexism” still is a factor. Just look at some of the FR posters. I have watched it with my wife. One of the best neurologists in the world. Liberal or republican. It is the same. That would also include many females. Again look at some of the posters here.
sadly, no one seems to know how to do what your tagline implores ... and we the people lose the power and intuition of our women because the media is so corrupted to spit on Eve if it empowers the socialist commies the power-broker media whoredom worship.
“I would add that “sexism” still is a factor...”
If there is any of that it is only borderline and does not come at all close to hate.
People will sometimes leap into assuming the worst possible meaning or intent.
The next time I hear “Don’t hate, participate!” (talking bumper sticker) I think I’ll lose my lunch.
