I'm not an expert on this problem, so I don't even feel comfortable addressing what the solution is. I appreciated the #YesAllWomen hashtag, I think it generated a necessary conversation, hopefully among all people. I agree with you about lack of education. Our society probably doesn't talk about sex openly enough and I would support having age appropriate sex education earlier in the curriculum. But overall, I just think our society still has a lot of growing up to do in regards to the nature of patriarchy, the objectification of women, and generally getting all males to realize that women are equally persons. The sad fact is that there are a lot of guys out there who just can't get that through their heads and simply see women as some type of toy or commodity. As a male, it is incredibly embarrassing to see.
