I didn't believe it at first, but now I consider it.

I'd say that probably has something to do with it if only because it specifically sets up the hierarchies and power structure that gives the opportunity for this sort of thing, but until capitalism itself starts falling apart and we transition to something else, that's probably going to stick with us.

I think we'll see social changes and attitudes on this change sooner, but like I said, I don't necessarily think we're there yet, even if some of these scandals are blowing up right now.
