Abstract
In spite of the gradual progress that is being made, sexism continues to be a factor that affects the lives of many women everywhere in the world. Being forced to maintain an image, act/play a certain role in life is tiring, and can often hurt woman's feelings because they begin to feel second best to man. Aspects being presented are: new and old beliefs about sexism, the everyday use of sexism, neutralizing sexism, Social Dominance Orientation, the emotional affects has on women, theories that attribute to sexism, and how media can be sexist. Most issues dealing with sexism are being considered.
Keywords: gender, sex discrimination, prejudice, attitude, bias, degrading
