And as ridiculous as that is there are women who also feel that way. Regardless of where that ridiculousness originated (patriarchy, sexism, etc.), people need to stop pointing the finger at men decision makers as though there is not a larger issue that resulted in this. Some of these men decision makers think there is a consensus regarding such issues and therefore they are fighting for a greater cause that the majority of women and men agree with.
