As long as 50% of the world profits (or think they do) at the expense of the other 50%, this will continue. It will continue in the name of god, tradition, the fist and "because we can". One reason that I accept evolution (aside from workability and evidence), is because that theory seems to be the only way that this crap will stop.

But really.  "We will not see significant progress as long as women are regarded as second-class citizens in so many parts of the world," Dr Chan said.
