What do women know about such matters?
:lol

Raquel, you're talking about at work right?

The only thing I can think of is to talk to the other female co-workers and see how they feel. :shrug
 
Raquel,

There is proof of it everywhere in society today. Be it against the female or male gender. It is promoted in some of the most saddening ways. Just like racism.

For example: The ideal or typical American male anymore is the sort of which does not cry let alone have much softeness to him. Not to mention lords over his significant other. Cannot begin to tell you how encouraged I feel a man's role is in terms of barking orders to his wife or thinking of her as nothing more than property and it seems to be viewed as either funny or okay.

Then if we look as some of the typical views on American women it does not get any better. Either they seem to be very submissive and allow their husbands or significant others to Lord over them with the acceptance of being called names or made to feel worthless. Still on the other hand there is a lot of depiction of the feminist type. For it is not only women who end up painted as a gender who are lorded over or looked upon as the opposing gender being greater.

Seriously...a boy cannot like the color pink without being homosexual. Girls cannot like G.I. Joes or the like without likely being ones thought a little less of or in need of reminders as to what gender they are.

Have you noticed how much men and women slap one another on television? At times, it is almost like the idea of domestic violence is being instilled into the minds of young and old alike!

In terms of the work place one can still see it too in many ways. Pending on one's gender can often pend on who gets the job. I cannot begin to tell you how many managers out there look for attractive young women to work in their establishments, basing their credentials on how low cut their blouses are. It is really rather disgusting. Yet it is not uncommon to see the same sort of things done in terms of the male gender.

So I can easily see how sexism is still an issue today. Seems though some steps have been taken....that there always has to be a few steps back.

I apologize for any offense caused or any rambling done on my part. It was not intended.

May God Bless You

Yes, I'm experiencing it at work and all the women (except for the two that constantly flaunt themselves in front of the men) notice it. Let's just say all our "leaders" are men and they have a "good ol' boys" thing going. They don't include the women in any way other than to get them water or have them make copies. I have two guys that work for me and the big bosses are constantly asking them to do "big" things and I know the only reason is because they're guys...they never ask the women. The are not smarter nor more capable than the women around here. In fact, they're lazy and do things half way constantly...I know because I'm their boss.

Anyway, I'm trying to prove it or at least bring it up without being completely harsh and rude.

Oh, that's all right, Danielle. We'll excuse you. You're a woman.
