There have probably been other posts made about this, but It's getting on my last nerves to see prejudices against people because of their sex, and seeing young kids influenced by others into sexism. For instance, I once had a teacher who was biased against males; even the most respectable, polite and well-behaved boys in my classes get rude remarks and pure disrespect from her in class--while the rather talkitive and bratty (if you prefer that term) females in the class get sweet little smiles and are always treated like royalty by her. Another thing, once there was something on the news about a man who thought you should never marry a woman with a carreer--but men with good jobs were just fine. That really turned me off. Needless to say, it was saying that women can't handle having a carrier and raising a family at once... Anyway, I want to hear other people's opinion on this and why you think people are sexist today.
And, if you think about it, living as a sexual offender must not be fun. If you're biased against the opposite sex (of course), than you must not love anyone or just be gay; and if for any strange reason your against your own sex, than you must hate yourself.

Yea it never made any sense to me lol...
I was told by my college personal counselor that only women should be teachers, I was given a B in gym class for not being courteous to the girls (didn't wait until all of them were through the door before i went...wtf lol) and i was given a suspension in 8th grade for getting in a fight with a girl (she put scratches all over my face and bit me, and i just pushed her away from me).

I can somewhat understand the thing about women and careers. Women are supposodly supposed to stay home, manage the house, cook, and clean. The problem is both parents have a job, so most americans get fast food to eat, cause their is not time for them to come home and cook. Then they get fat off of McDonalds.
My point: Both parents probably should not have a career. One of them should take care of the house...
My 2 cents.

Sexism is dumb. If a woman is qualified for a job, she should have it. As for as work, some families can make it with only one income in the household...our family needs both in order to make it.

Ok, first of all I would like to point out that just because someone is gay doesn't meen they have a bias against the opposite sex... I am gay. I just am not attracted to women. I don't think they are evil, vile, despicable creatures... heck most of my friends ARE female, I just am not attracted to any of them. I like guys.
And I used to have a sexist teacher too before I graduated from tech school. I had gotten both my ears peirced and I came into class on Monday and she wanted me to cover the earrings up... because according to her it is unprofessional for men to wear earrings in business. I told her women wear them too... but she said it is ok for women just not for men. She then said that it is also unfair that men can wear pants to work but women can't but that is just how things are... I told her "But you do wear pants to work" and that shut her up. She never said anything about my earrings again. Heh.

Both of my parents have a job. *Raises an eyebrow*

Yea both my parents have a job too. One works first shift, other works 2nd shift...and someone is always home with the kids.

I think that was the implied meaning. Kids shouldn't be home all by themselves all the time.

My mom didn't work until I started school.

I was watched by my grandma during day on workdays till I started goin to school.

Are you SURE about that?
And by the way, I meant both shouldn't be working at the same time...

I'm the liberal and my parents worked.
You're the conservative and one parent was home.
I think I got the better deal. :)

People are sexist because we were segregated at birth.
TRANSEXUALS FTW!

I know. There are girl toys, but, girls can play with hot wheels and action figures and nothing is said. If a guy plays with a barbie, he is picked on. Sexism, ftw.

That's not sexism. It's chivalry.

Like that really makes a difference. Transexuals are picked on more than anyone in the bunch, and usually just called freaks.
People are sexist just because they want to make fun of an specific type of person so they can feel better about themselves and by making everyone else feel like crap, even though they know what they are doing is wrong, being sexist is just a fancy way to act like a dipshit;others do it because they're monomaniacs who just can't stand anything except the gender they like.

I really do sometimes. I wish I was cute, happy, flexible and all that. But more so, I wish I was a guy that looked really girly. Like, if I were to crossdress, I could pass off as a girl. How I am now, I just look like a fairly in shape guy. I don't like that. I'll never look like a pretty girl, and I'll never look good in womens clothes. It's depressing, and the doctors are helping me not be a trap anymore.
I think it makes me twisted or retarded. I can't really tell, but this helps contribute to the whole sexist thing.
-
i haven't read the whole topic so don't yell if i am repeating or saying something stupid.
but i think people are sexist because back in the day, and i mean wayyy back, men were seen as the stronger ones, mainly because they were, and because the women had to tend to the children while the man went out and worked/hunted/whatever. so, like, that concept has never left us really.. that women were inferior to men in strength, and it just progressed to other aspects of life too, such as smarts. and i think women are sexist against men because they feel that all men think they are superior to women.. make sense?
yeah, i know, it doesn't.

Aligirl, I think that teacher was a lesbian. Sexism is *dolphin noise* up. You really don't expect that anymore but from rednecks.
-
And from Muslims. No really. Islam is a sexist religion.

Anyone can be sexist, not just a specific group or people.

Nobody is superior or inferior to anyone... people need to quit looking at race, gender, religion, and sexual orientation as basis to discriminate and just learn to be more tolerant.

Dude, STFU. I hate gays, blacks, and people who have Hitler mustaches.

I second that opinion.
But why are people sexist/racist.ect?
I beleive they are afraid of the opposing side of who they are, being afraid to accept that there are other beleifs/feelings.ect in the world that they must respect.
Fear is what drives the human being into darkness, if a country uses it's peoples fear as a weapon...it will give the country government power.
Look at Russia when Stalin was in charge.

Sexism is dumb.
Now that is a true comment i do agree that it is dumb sadly little kids today are sexist thanks to crap(eg Action Man he's a UK doll btw making boys sexist,Barbie and Bratz) and little girls go ''Ewww,boys'' i mean seriously what the hell is up with that and boys also go about girls ''Ewww,girls'' something like that i wish stuff for kids would stop making them so sexist.

That is NOT a learned trait.
All kids when they are young don't generally like kids of the oppisite sex. It is human nature.

Yea...
And also, Girl and Boy shows/cartoons aren't sexist...
In General, a little girl won't like GI Joe. And a little boy won't like My little Pony.

I hate sexists. Guys gave me "Oh My God, a girl is here" looks when I joined the baseball team, which i can't be in anymore because I'm 12 and only girls under 10 are allowed to join. In my small town of sexist people, boys laugh at girls when they know what they're talking about and it's about fishin or huntin or NASCAR. Guys look at me funny when I walk into Wal*Mart wearin a guy's Spongebob shirt, jeans, and a baseball cap. When our school gives out flyers for sports, the guys get baseball and the girls get cheerleading. People laugh at my friend Jacob because he likes cheerleading and gymnastics, and made the competitive cheerleading team at school. I get Bratz, Barbies, and makeup for Christmas and B-days, when what I wanted was a psp, a new BB gun, and a pocketknife. What's *dolphin noise* wrong with the world? Being a girl sucks in my town because of the sexist stuff.

It's not just men who are sexist and not even near all men are.
Almost all the woman I have met are shallow and all feminists are sexist (keyword: feminist, difference between that and female rights activist)

I hate you people who think Wikipedia is just a bunch of lies....as if people don't moderate it and change those things like 30 seconds after you change it.
Don't believe me, try it. Wikipedia is one of the most realiable sources on the net.

Actually, yes, Wikipedia is fairly accurate. Misinformation is usually on the much smaller articles. Wikipedia is quite an accurate site that states it sources and any false info is very quickly edited out and fixed.

Best. Year. Ever.

Well, since I have to cite all my sources, using Wikipedia would get me an F-- on a paper since we aren't allowed to do that. However, I have gotten mild, general ideas for English papers before and NOT cited Wiki as a source. :wacko:
