What is sexism?
Sexism is sex-bonding of things that have nothing to do with it.
For example, I'm looking on an online resource for a person who will do the cleaning. Nine students and a female student are responding. If I choose a girl because 'they are diligent and clean', although it would seem that I am sitting here and do not want to clean, this is sexism.
On my own behalf, I will say that it is difficult for me to agree to a boy in such situations and I have to conduct a conversation with myself, 'choose according to reviews, not gender.'
That is, every time gender is mentioned where it does not matter or you can do without it, this is sexism.
If no statistics are provided, then the saying “Women are more accurate, slower, more careful, more interesting” is sexism.
"Women, when they get married, must be able (or learn) something" - sexism.
Why is sexism bad?
Because the intrasexual differences are greater than the intergender ones. That is, you can find a man and a woman who are more similar to each other than two women.
For example, I have more in common with my dad than with my mom. And that's okay. And this does not mean that I am a man.
Dividing people into two types and attributing to them some desires, weaknesses and opportunities, we invariably limit children in development, formatting them to a social standard.
Example: Sandra in Israel practically does not wear skirts and dresses, she wears shorts and jeans. It's okay here. Not a single question. Not a single doubt about her gender, orientation, future.
In Moscow, she was constantly asked why she was not in a skirt, she was a girl. Girls should love skirts. And if she doesn't love, then she is a boy. So something is wrong with her. This is not a joke, I have actually heard it several times.
When we walked in a Star-Lord costume around Alicante at the carnival, there was no question. In Moscow, at the Christmas tree, a girl wearing a Batman mask, even in a skirt (and she was in a skirt), raised questions from more than ten mothers. 'Why does the girl have such a gloomy costume?', 'What are you, boy, why Batman?'. Etc.
However, in reality, wearing a skirt has nothing to do with the gender of the child. Many boys, looking at Roman legionnaires, Greek philosophers and Scottish warriors, want such costumes, and this does not mean that they want to change their gender.
Many little boys on playgrounds ask girls to drive a stroller or a doll to play because they don't get these toys.
This changes with age, because segregation is increasing and social pressures are increasing.
And from a boy about six years old it takes extraordinary fortitude to ask his mother to buy himself a toy kitchen or a purple bicycle.
And from the girl - so as not to wear dresses or play tanks, because then she will easily be turned off from both girls 'and boys' games.
It then influences career choices and family scenario choices.
