Each was clearly aware that this had become an issue of central import.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kktg.net\/KurtTaylorGaubatz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Progress_of_Women_3c_1948_issue_U.S._stamp.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-801\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kktg.net\/KurtTaylorGaubatz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Progress_of_Women_3c_1948_issue_U.S._stamp.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.kktg.net\/KurtTaylorGaubatz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Progress_of_Women_3c_1948_issue_U.S._stamp-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kktg.net\/KurtTaylorGaubatz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Progress_of_Women_3c_1948_issue_U.S._stamp-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The bright thread that runs through these case studies is the inability to see a shared humanity and equality across the gender line. I started this series with a reference to <a href=\"https:\/\/psychology.fas.harvard.edu\/people\/gordon-w-allport\">Gordon Allport<\/a>\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.apa.org\/monitor\/nov01\/contact\">contact hypothesis<\/a>,\u201d the notion that sustained contact between groups can decrease prejudice and conflict. Yet, not only has this effect not worked on women\u2019s inequality, it doesn\u2019t even seem to have occurred to sociologists to consider the contact hypothesis in the context of gender until 2016!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Schopenhauer, of course, was perniciously misogynist. But as Dr. Meigs illustrates, even those who put women on a pedestal acted from an underlying rejection of women\u2019s intellectual and occupational aspirations. All four men knew, and even claimed to love, women of exceptional capability, yet even that was not enough to break through the cultural hegemony of patriarchy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admittedly, Schopenhauer was widely regarded as something of a jerk. (Friedrich Nietzsche, who called Schopenhauer his \u201cgreat teacher,\u201d noted that Schopenhauer had no known friends and \u201ccherished his philosophy more than his fellow men.\u201d) Meigs, Marshall, and Bonhoeffer, on the other hand, were all thought of as caring, generous, and considerate. Each wanted to make the world a better place. Nonetheless, each failed to understand how the nature and needs of 50 percent of the population would fit into that ambition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kktg.net\/KurtTaylorGaubatz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/George-orwell-BBC.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-722\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kktg.net\/KurtTaylorGaubatz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/George-orwell-BBC.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.kktg.net\/KurtTaylorGaubatz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/George-orwell-BBC-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><figcaption>George Orwell, 1945<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Dietrich Bonhoeffer understood the critical importance of a direct connection to other people. &#8220;We must allow,\u201d he said, \u201cfor the fact that most people learn wisdom only by personal experience.&#8221; But here, a bit of George Orwell\u2019s wisdom is relevant: \u201cto see what is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.orwellfoundation.com\/the-orwell-foundation\/orwell\/essays-and-other-works\/in-front-of-your-nose\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in front of one\u2019s nose<\/a> needs a constant struggle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the resistance of these prominent men and so many others, the women\u2019s movement began to succeed in changing attitudes and institutions. Still, as our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/essay\/why-has-covid-19-been-especially-harmful-for-working-women\/\">current pandemic has vividly demonstrated<\/a>, many areas of inequality remain. The same forces of culture and condescension that constrained the views of brilliant men like Schopenhauer, Meigs, Marshall, and Bonhoeffer continue to shape our norms and institutions. My hope is that reflecting on their failures can help us address our own. Until we get better at exposing, acknowledging, and confronting these social forces, both women and men will suffer the effects of our patriarchal legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Moral:<\/strong>
