By spending his life - working and social - surrounded by men, never seeing women in a position of responsibllity or power. Oh, and ignoring the parts of the world where women run countries, corporations, UN agencies, etc, because we are "not like them."<br /><br />No, he seems perfectly happy - like men of his culture and religion (and many other men) - to continue to perpetuate the status quo, even when he is being so outspoken on other issues. I think that's intellectually dishonest.<br /><br />I have to say his comments - as a childless single man - on couples who don't have children ending up bitter and lonely didn't go down well in my childless blogging circles either! I also made the point that he protests social inequality at the same time as sentencing millions of women and girls to lives of poverty and drudgery and risk of death by refusing to allow access to contraception.
