Changing the culture as we watch --- A very interesting article, thanks. It is interesting to note that in order to change the culture both Berlusconi and Trump used mass media (TV in B's case, Twitter in Trump's - beware of his his Social Media platform!). It is dismaying to learn than sexism can so readily be equated with success.

"Unfortunately, I know that the personal sexism of men like Trump all too often becomes public policy. As a woman who endured Italy’s Berlusconismo, I watched as my leader’s sexism gradually become a political and cultural phenomenon."
