It feels like a cliché to even say so (especially since it came up so often in the book itself), but I had no idea the situation was as bad as it is for women. The most insidious part is that for individual occurrences you can almost convince yourself that it's an outlier, or that it might be simple ignorance rather than malice. But the overwhelming numbers and similarities not only go toward proving that is blatant sexism, but that it's pervasive and probably affects things in non-obvious ways as well.
Knowledge is the first step toward making it better. Calling attention to it, cutting it off and speaking out when it happens is the next — a step we all need to take.
