It's shocking because males in many cultures over thousands of years have considered us on a par with the children we produce, property with no inherent legal rights. We are smaller, grow no beards, and our voices don't change, therefore we must be permanently children, incapable of serious thought or making our own life choices.
Sound familiar?
It should. It's how even religions that started out enlightened have been perverted.
That's why Clinton's statement sounded so radical. It's why it still rings true.
