Sexism, is it getting better or worse?

Post Reply New Topic

I think it's kind of a complex issue. Legally, sexism is better, as women can vote, they are allowed careers (though still not on the same level as most men). However, in other terms, its is just as bad or worse. Example- female circumcision is still around. Rape is very common in many countries. Women are being sexified at younger and younger ages (Bratz and thongs for 13 year olds come to mind). And many of the guys I know are on the verge of jeapordizing our friendship because they are so sexist. Sexism needs to be targeted at a less governmental level and more on a societal level. Until evryone can stand up for what they believe and unite against sexists, the problem will never be resolved. Hopefully, when society as a whole can confront the issue, sexism and the sick people who believe in it will be a thing of the past.

I think sexism is getting worse and in both subtle and overt ways. Being an intelligent woman is often still frowned upon in our society and it is the "bimbos" who seem to be the popular ones. Women can be very sexist though and even towards their own kind.

I'm kind of nervous about her but don't hate her.
