sexism.

obviously this topic well talked about and well know throughout the world. it has been around for ages and sadly is apart of our society. it has affected many lives and changed peoples perspectives on certain things. its like with this we wouldn't be able to declare who we are as a person.

sexism can affect many people. mainly women because we are the victims of it. as soon as the doctor tells our mothers, "its a girl" we are instantly labeled with well as being a girl. certain restrictions and expectations that we need to live up to as women. we cant do certain things because were girls and we don't want to get hurt because its a boys sport or game. were to weak to lift things that boys are strong enough to lift. when we grow up it all becomes more real. were not good enough to get paid just as much as men. we don't get many jobs that we deserve because its best suited if a man takes the job. we are seen as only house wives that take care of the children and the household. and even seen as not smart enough to run this country. sometimes daily stereotypes affect us on being women.

today i worked the texas relays, which was my first time ever attending and let me just say it was quite interesting ;) haha, anyway i was recording times and this older guy was taking measurements and i would write them down. simple job. then the next shift a women was taking the measurements and a thought came to my mind, "ahh i hope she knows what she's doing. i rather have that guy doing it because i'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing." with that i realized what i was doing. i was already assuming that this women wasn't capable of doing a good job just as the man had done. i assumed that the man would do a better job than this woman becuase well, it's what society shows and tells us. it automatically makes you think that a man would be capable of performing this job better than this woman. i felt bad because i didn't even give this woman a chance to show me that she can do this job just as well as that man.

turns out she knew what she was doing. actually more accurate than that man. i was like, ahhh your stupid for thinking she wasn't going to be able to handle it. when she flipped it on me and did a great job. situations like this happen on a daily basis and it just shows you society views on sexism.

i personally will no longer conform to this sexism society. i think i'm capable of accomplishing things just as men can. just because i'm a woman doesn't mean anything. just the fact that i'm smarter :D but like i was saying with more and more people taking on this sexism world we live in, one day it will change and WE will be on top. starting with ruling this country. yea thats right i said it. one day there will be a woman living in that white house and she will NOT be the first lady.
