Sexism-Patriarchy
Sexism by definition is discrimination by members of one sex
against the other, especially by men against women, based on the
assumption that one sex is superior.
It regards women as
inherently inferior intellectually, psychologically, and
physically to man. This view, is shared by both men and women,
and has historically shaped institutions of world society. It
has been continued through the cultural modification of groups of
people through prolonged and continuous interaction involving
intercultural exchange of generations of children with resulting
differences between the sexes.
On-job sexual discrimination such as low-level work
experience caused by traditional sexist viewpoints has hindered
allot of female job promotion. Women with the same
qualifications as a man that applied for a job would be turned
down based on the simple fact that they are a woman. Prior to
