Mad About Sexism

Improved Essays
People are getting mad about sexism because some people say “his” and just assume whoever it is the people are thinking or talking about is a man. I think we should just say his or her. It lets women know they are included. Furthermore it only refers to one sex. Finally it will end the talk about sexism.
Saying he or she lets women know they are included. Women will be feeling better because if people say he or she, women will know they are equal with men and they will feel included. Women will feel better and if people start saying he or she more they will know they can do whatever a man could do.
It only refers to one sex. If people just say “he” people will automatically think of just a man and not a women. When people just refer to one

    Our society today chose to put labels on things just like the Igbo tribe did in the book “Things Fall Apart”. With many products that are sold to the public they have a gender specification, saying that it is only used for one gender. Also in the story the use of labeling something with a gender gives it a negative or positive look, which isn’t exactly fair in either society. In our daily lives we see things labeled as “for Men” or “for Women” and that would really downplay the human right of choice.…

    What do you think? Please comment, like or hate and share! WOMEN PRESIDENT OF THE USA, UNCONSTITUTIONAL? I want to preface by saying that I am not against the idea of a women being President of the US, but I am very much against Hillary Clinton, for more reasons than I can count. With that said, it seems to me that it is currently unconstitutional for a female to hold the Office of the Presidency of the United States of America.…

    Essay On Sexism

    In our society today, there are still many techniques of discrimination that one would think had been eradicated years ago. One of these techniques is sexism, which is the act of prejudice, stereotyping, and/or intolerance on the basis of gender. Sexism has taken control over the way people think and it affects the job industry, government decisions, the media, and unfortunately, education. Children begin to experience sexism at a young age, typically in elementary school. An example of a subliminal sexist message that they might experience would be a teacher scolding a female student for acting in an unorthodox fashion that does not fit the ‘calm, respectful, and neat’ stereotype for girls, but then excusing the same actions of a male student, using the overused, disgusting statement ‘boys will be boys.’…

    In order for a seed to grow into a thriving plant, it must receive the proper amount of nutrients, water, and sunlight. If a seed does not receive these necessities, it completely stops growing and dies. This is akin to the pursuit of the American Dream. Individuals argue whether this dream includes economic opportunity, personal liberty, civil rights, or even two and a half children, but these are merely tools for achieving the true definition of the American Dream: happiness. While it may seem to be a simple goal, it is nearly impossible for minority groups to achieve.…

    I’m so over girls getting bashed for the same exact things that guys do but they get props for it. Girls are so discriminated against for the things they wear, how they act, if they curse, and for every little thing we do we get scolded. I’m not a feminist or anything like that, I’m just speaking against a problems I see everyday. For instance how many times do you see a guy get in trouble for what they wear besides the acausal curse word or inappropriate logos on their shirts. I used to get harassed in middle school for wearing ripped jeans and tank tops but I would see a guy wearing a basketball jersey and ripped jeans and they wouldn’t even get bothered.…
