Sexism in Society

Paper Summary:

In a world where women are paid significantly less, discriminatory cultural norms suppress male creativity, and the children of each generation are taught sexual discrimination as a rule, we have to ask ourselves, "How far have we come?" This opinion paper argues that ,as long as women are not respected as workers, as long as the creativity of men is censored, and as long as children are raised in an environment of chauvinism, we must not abandon our fight for equality.

From the Paper:

"The perception of the family has changed quite a bit since the fifties, but one feature has stayed the same. The father will sit at the head of the table. This metaphor is applicable across the board. From business to politics to the home, the wielding of power is reserved for a single group, and their sexist rhetoric has infected the modern day business environment like a virus. The archaic opinions of an antiquated generation have stereotyped women into specific occupations. Though these duplicities may be difficult to spot, their effects are not. They turn America's glass ceiling into glass walls transparent enough for women to see exactly what they cannot have."
