Paragraph list

There you will see how women are consistently portrayed as weak and in need of male protection.
This acceptance that men were the superior gender had not developed by chance.
It had been the view that had been socialized into them from the moment of their birth.
This will become clear if you look at any girls' magazine or popular film of the period.
In the 1960s, the greatest obstacle for those who wanted to organize women was said to be women's conviction that they were actually inferior to men.
