No he is right.

The issue is something like this. Most people have a tough time realizing that 99% of the times their net condition on any day is result of their own doing.

You see the problem manifest here.

   1. Notice non equal participation of women.
   2. Blame men.
   3. Shift the onus of change on men not women.
   4. Wash your hands off the situation, and claim high moral high ground.
Now notice what women did when there was a non equal participation of men. They treat it as it is supposed to be. Which is that men didn't take the initiative to be there and hence laughter.

The first step to change the world is basically start by changing oneself first. Now if you do all this and still get limited by the environment around you, then you can start by blaming the other things.

But even before starting, trying and doing something. You have 100 people to blame you are not likely to see any improvement soon.
