Allen Pace Nilsen- Sexism in English: A 1990s Update

There is a proverb in this passage that truly disturbed me, " If you see an old man, sit down and take a lesson, if you see an old woman, throw a stone." I would like to know who in the world told the man that came up with this proverb that a man was some how superior to a woman. The ignorance by this enraged me. So basically women like Amelia Earhart, Maya Angelou, Hellen Keller, Harriet Thubman, have absolutely nothing worth listening to. Somehow this person has convinced himself that a man has more knowledge. In modern society especially in America women have just the same amount of education as a man, some women are infact more successful so in what way are man superior? If I ever met this person I would show him a thing or two and I truly hope I never meet a fellow who has this same view point because they might not live to regret the day they ever met me.
