Sexism |
|
Sexism is the discrimination of gender. Sexism was a very big problem in history and still exists today. Usually a male is sexist to a female but it can be the other way around also. An example of someone being sexist is say there are some boys and girls playing at a park. Then a boy decides to play a game but he doesn't let any girls play just because they are different. Sexism started a long time ago but the term “sexism was created recently.. The religions of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Confucianism all have produced cultures in which males rule. Before the 20th century all types of rights were only available to males. For example women could not vote they had limited rights to property and were usually subject to their father or husband. During the 1960’s the largest women’s rights movement took place. In 1963 a journalist named Betty Friedman wrote a book called The Feminine Mystique which challenged the notion that women could only be mothers or wives. In 1964 race discrimination in employment was band and the EEOC was set up to enforce the law. Then after that debate unexpectedly legislator amended a bill that banned sex discrimination in employment. After the EEOC ignored many charges of sex discrimination in employment women created th National Organization for Women (NOW) in 1966. Betty Friedman led the organization, which urged to end sexism. In 1972 the congress passed the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) which provided equal rights for both sexes. That was the goal that man people had been trying to achieve for decades. Though that amendment outlawed sexism it didn't stop it. Sexism still exists today even if its just rude comments towards a different sex but if we all work together to end it we just might be able to put an end to sexism.
El sexismo es la discriminación de género. El sexismo es un problema muy grande en la historia y todavía existe hoy en día. Por lo general, un hombre es sexista a una mujer, pero puede ser al revés también. Un ejemplo de alguien que es sexista decir que hay algunos niños y niñas jugando en un parque. A continuación, un niño decide jugar un juego pero no dejar que ningún juego niñas sólo porque son diferentes. |
