Maybe People Should Not Look Up To YouTube Atheist

In a lot of communities the idea that women are worth less is so ingrained culturally for so long that it has to be the first thing to go to make any real progress. And it's not just religions, for example in chinese communities women have been taught to be less valuable for centuries because we don't pass on the family name, so in China, orphans are almost exclusively female because of one child policy, people do not want their one and only child to be male. So much so that the government no longer allows them to screen for sex when doing ultrasound, something that many westerners enjoy and delight in because it's a great surprise to find out the sex of your child, but in china it's used as family planning. And if I'm not mistaken the same thing is done in India, you are allowed to know the sex of your child but a lot of people abort if they know it's a girl. And China can hardly be considered 3rd world, people there are educated and women enjoy equal rights but the cultural idea of female worth is still so strong. I don't know, the world's a mess. But yea I definitely agree that a lot of religious clerics and teachings are not at all helping the cause.
