I don't ask God for favors or for wishes.I would definitely describe myself as a religious man, yeah, I think that's fundamentally true.I think we're past that by about a decade. First, I don't think there is any evidence at all that women are being systemically held back.It's a norm that's been established through a hell of a lot of effort. We tend to think of that as a norm in the West. It's not necessarily that easy to entice men into responsible work. There's lots of cultures in the world where women do all the work.But we still don't know what the rules are that should govern the behavior, the interaction between men and women in places like the workplace.

It's more deeply reflective of a bigger problem in society, which is that the birth-control pill has enabled women to compete with men on a fairly equal footing. But then you have a believe-the-victim strategy, which is associated with dangers like violation of the presumption of innocence. That's what a small percentage of very dangerous men are like. I think that the treatment of women at the hands of some men is reprehensible.
