to change this. Obviously not everyone is a sexist. There's no question, however, that many are. What to do about it? Don't tolerate it. Think of the society as Facebook, and unfriend anyone who treats people that way. That's the only approach I can suggest.

There is no way to pass laws to keep people from thinking one way or another. That's impossible. So, a one-on-one solution is really the only option, with the job of educating people falling on everyone.
