Recently there was a series of articles in the newspapers talking about the way white supremacists were infiltrating the Armed Forces as a way to get training. One thing that was almost amusing was that no one touched on another facet of these guys: you think these guys are just racist? I guarantee you they hate women, too, but women are of such little importance---or else abuse against them is so universally accepted----that this doesn't even get mentioned, even though women are the majority of the population. Rather than shock the senses that such a large proportoin of the population is subject to abuse of various kinds, it has the effect of normalizing it, and radicalizing complaints against it.
