Ummmm, this still happens. Maybe not
so much in the industrialized world that you and I know (though it still occurs unfortunately), but in the developed world, that's the norm. Girls are even denied basic primary education in some Third World countries because they believe it's more important for them to become a domestic goddess or something.
Have you ever heard of the "
Glass Ceiling" ideology? In corporate America, it's a whole lot harder for women to move up the hierarchy than it is for men, simply because women aren't seen as capable of running large, multinational corporations, usually because people we're too emotional, have to raise a family, have to maintain order in their domestic life - the idea that a MAN can and should be able to run a household and raise kids is
absolutely appalling, isn't it?
Then there's also the salary gap...
The gender gap is still in existence.
