What would happen if you could end sexism overnight by giving everyone a magic pink pill?

Why changing hearts, minds and culture isn’t enough, you need to change the conditions that generate cultural attitudes in order for changing hearts and minds to have a long term effect.  

A thought experiment which gets to the heart of the class reductionism vs. race reductionism debate.  Crucial things to understand for effective political strategy on almost any issue, with a real "pink pill" example of how post-revolutionary rural China totally failed at fighting patriarchy and male baby preference via education and propaganda campaigns.  

Note that at 15:55 I say that there are 114 female births for every 100 males - that was a screw up - the actual stat is 114 males for 100 females!

I purposefully don’t monetize my channel in order to spare you the annoying ads, and it takes me weeks to make these, so please help if you can!
