We are taught that inferiority is a “virtue”

1. Sometimes we dwell too much on logic thinking, e.g. it's logical for a woman to want gender equality. It's more nuanced than that.

2. Inasmuch as this logic is valid, everything is not in black and white. So many factors must be considered in understanding the issue.

3. In an ideal world, this logic could really work but alas, we don't live in a utopia. We live in a society that makes it okay to erase women.

4. Culturally and religiously, women are socialized with rhetoric (notions of "virtue") to embrace inferiority and play second fiddle.

5. If we (as women) are socialized to embrace and bask in inferiority, accept our "station" in life, how do we come back from that way of  thinking?

6. It takes a lot of courage to break free the shackles of socialization that hurts us. It takes a lot to reach one's moment of epiphany.

7. We'll be shooting ourselves in the foot if we treat with contempt & disrespect, women who say they don't believe in gender equality.

8. They don't choose to glorify patriarchy; they are the pawns of patriarchy. It takes a lot to break away from such psychological control.
