Sexism..what be that? Ahh..yes!

Sexism:

Noun
1. Discrimination based on gender, especially discrimination against women. 2. Attitudes, conditions, or behaviors that promote stereotyping of social roles based on gender.
Other forms
sex'ist adj.n.

Sexism-
Gender Discrimination-
Same difference.
Its an attitude, a
thought defining
-what we are- or at
lest -what we should be-
And why..do peopl do it?
Why--If only we knew.
Its not so much to
one sex anymore..
those..stereotypes-
They hurt. Its more
than just superficial.
I dont understand.
Why is it that women
have to flaunt around
in heels and a mini-skirt
to get noticed by some
guy that will never
know how much she's
worth or that she's
smarter than him.
Why does a man have
to be 'this tall' or
have 'this color hair'
or even 'this color eyes'
to be considered
"attractive?"
Why do they have to be
so much stronger or
smarter than women?
Women...--
Since when are we the
weaker sex? Oh yeah..
since always! That's right.
I remember..we're only born
to have kids and be
housewives...to be
servant to the evil called
man. Ah yes..I remember.
So if we're so much weaker,
why do /we/ have to go
through labor?
Sexism..such a delicate
subject..because in one
way or another..we're all sexists,
Againt one gender or another.
Women think men are horrible.
Men think women are their whores.

Like my friend says...
Keep your legs shut..
 then they'll listen!

    Excellent

    Way to go! I really liked it. You did a wonderful job. And all of this is sooo true. Although, I don't care what a guy looks like, it does not matter to me really, if he is fine, good for him, but what matters is on the inside. I hope that you will continue writing and have a wonderful day!

    Brillantly Thought Out

    VERY WELL DONE! You did an excellent job on defining that 'sexism' in the modern world today is in your own words. Like what Lapsus Linguae said, this write was quite thought provoking! And I've had these thoughts myself all the time. Men look down on women and women look down on men. They think we (women) were placed on this earth for sexual pleasures, being housewives and being mothers. We think men were placed on this earth just to be stupid j*ck*sses. This is how life is and it's really not good at all! I'm rather surprised both sexes have even lived this long and haven't torn each other apart! Awesome write! Good luck in the contest by the way!

    i liked it, it was unique, i do think that you made quite a few less than true genneralizations in it, but it is still a good peice of work.

    I like this one, it's different and interesting to read. I totally agree that sexism and discrimination works into both directions - we need to break the neck of all those stereotypes and create a society where men can be weak and women strong, men can be whores and women horrible...to cut a long rant short - where everyone can just be what/who he/she is! Sorry for rambling...as you see this write was quite thought provoking! I also liked the little sarcastic undertone!
