Sexism by Victoria Grille (FGCU)
Sexism is the discriminatory attitudes based on traditional stereotypes of sexual roles. Weren’t we supposed to be beyond this by now? Well it doesn’t seem that way, especially in the workplace. Females are not given equal opportunities to that of men, and are looked down upon as being incapable of doing a man’s job. Whoever agrees with this is just arrogant because there are women out there that are much more successful than most men. The idea that women are inferior to men has been a traditional stereotype for hundreds of years due to the fact that back in the day, women’s roles were to be housewives. They were unable to be educated and did not have as many rights in society as men. As much as society says that men and women are equal, it seems almost impossible that this will ever hold true. Men are better drivers, men are stronger, men are smarter, men have more power in a relationship. I think the real problem is that men are too afraid to admit the fact that there are women out there that are better than them. With this mindset, men and women will never be treated equally.

I completely agree with your blog, sexism still lives on today. You still hear jokes and preconceived notions about women and their driving or the only place a woman should be is in the kitchen and bedroom. Because of these judgments, I feel like women have more to prove in life then men. Throughout the years, society has seen a change in the role of a woman. There are more women in the work force than in the 1900’s and more women are becoming the higher “bread winner” for their family, compared to back in the day they would just stay home, cook, clean, and obey their husbands. Society needs to realize that the role of a woman has changed and they are just as qualified or even more qualified, than most men out there to take on any task.

Men think they are superior to women because they have low self esteem. they need to constantly remind themselves how much better they are than women at something. men always have to be the stronger, smarter, dominant ones in everything. do you know what happens to a family where the woman bring in more money than the man? He complains and fights every day about something new. men need to feel like they are the ones we need to live on and with out them we would die. well its not going to happen. we women still have a long way to go but were getting there. slowly, men today are not like how they used to be. today some help out around the house. they cook, clean, and yes they even iron their own cloths. yes its going to be a while until women are seen as completely equal to men in the workspace but that just means we need to fight harder.
