Bonus points to actress Olivia Wilde for allowing both friends and “haters” to take place in her latest informal Twitter poll, which asks what “most holds back justice and equality for women.”

@oliviawilde Men's lust for power, viewing women as sexual objects, and their false intellectual superiority. Honestly, it's pure misogyny.

@oliviawilde Misogyny. Next question.

@oliviawilde Is 'the patriarchy in general' a valid answer? Because if so then I'll say that for sure

@oliviawilde patriarchy and all its forms.

@oliviawilde Patriarchy. It's what we are constantly fighting to make progress and it's the structure for all things.
— Tiffany R. (@VegetarianTiff) February 7, 2014
@oliviawilde thousands of years of patriarchy indoctrinating society. Unequal gender role division is also associated with religion.

@oliviawilde Religion doesn't help – women are 2nd class citizens in religious beliefs. Men run the country, major corporations.

@oliviawilde Religion…which leaks into politics. And in both of those the laws are written by men.

Hold on, now. Women themselves aren’t entirely off the hook.

@oliviawilde women's treatment of other women. Until we treat each other positively and withhold judgement, we're holding ourselves back.
— ??? emily (@emilycharlatte) February 7, 2014
@oliviawilde women positioning themselves in the media as sexual objects. It's a thin line between empowerment and objectification.
— Kirbie “Baby Yoda Stan” Johnson (@kirbiejohnson) February 7, 2014
@oliviawilde women! If we stop judging each other, the world will follow suit!
