My message to my fellow men is this: Sometimes we need a reminder of just how ingrained our prejudices are and how much we still have to face.

I like to think of myself as enlightened, beyond outdated ideas about gender. But sometimes we get a reminder of just how ingrained our prejudices are and how much we still have to face.
