Yes that is a shame. And unfortunately as you too see, that educated does not actually mean enlightened or even intelligent, cause if they were, then they'd have the minds to break out of these archaic and illogical beliefs.
Obviously you are though, as you can see it- the detriment to your fellow females and the entire population and are willing to discuss it AND you're here on Hive- so you are not only intelligent but also enlightened too!
Good luck to you and your family.
