It can be said that both men and women have been brainwashed by a patriarchal society since childhood. The values that are instilled in a child usually will remain in that person their entire lives. How many adults are members of the same religion (and even the same denomination within that religion) in which they were raised? How many people are members of the same political party as their parents? Studies have shown that a majority of people will stay with the religion and political affiliation that they were raised with. Some will stray in early adulthood only to return to the values of their upbringing once they have families of their own.
