Assuming that it is cultural, as it seems like your comment kinda assumes that. Like it seems you are saying, it was cultural but by now it is kinda intentional.

I would argue “willingly ignorant” is bad but also not making it less “unconscious cultural”.

If they were willingly ignorant but also no cultural sexist, they wouldn’t be an issue.

So well you have a point, but I would say that the unconscious cultural sexism could lead to willfully ignorant and you would kinda expect it.

I am not saying, you are fully wrong about the willingly ignorant part, I just don’t think it would remove the cultural part.

Edit: ups edited the wrong comment. Sorry
