Is America a misogynistic country? Hmmm...let's see...how much does the
highest paid male movie star earn per movie? How about the highest paid
femal star?
What about the highest paid CEOs in the US? Mostly male of female?
Let's see...how many female presidents have we had so far? Oh...well, OK
then, VICE-presidents...Hmmmm
Who's on the Fortune 400 list? How many of them are women? Well, there's
always Oprah. Wait...Celine Dion! Oh, nope, she's Canadian....
I think we can all agree that there are plenty of countries in the world
that are FAR more misogynistic than the US. Any women here feel like
moving
to Iran or Saudi Arabia? How about years of terror under the Taliban in
Afghanistan?
I think I've made my point. Elton has every right to his opinion, and the
facts show that the US IS a misogynistic country! I wish it weren't, but
it
is. Maybe he's like that embarrasing relative that tells you the truth no
matter how much you really don't want to hear it!
