To some it comes easier than to others - the issue is it is something we should have left behind a long time ago.Lorenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16720997862417551402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-90718200261472062862014-09-21T21:47:45.618-04:002014-09-21T21:47:45.618-04:00As someone who works in staffing, I actually see a...As someone who works in staffing, I actually see a LOT of sexism on both ends. Certain companies will NOT hire women even if they are capable of doing the job, simply because they feel like it is a man's job. I've also watched men been turned down time and again for "women's" jobs like receptionists and admin.Megan Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10169811757787686946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-50273255780252493702014-09-20T20:23:16.239-04:002014-09-20T20:23:16.239-04:00I am inclined to agree with Beth and her history p...I am inclined to agree with Beth and her history prof. In general the strong win, might makes right, and men have been stronger longer. Human beings want to feel they are in control and for many of them that seems to also involve impairing the control of others. There are gains in the trek towards equality but there are setbacks too. I am not sure we will ever get there but we should always be trying to.<br /><br />Love this quote: "Civilization is a fragile construct requiring constant maintenance."<br />xoxoShawna McComberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296162660865309624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-18948638463555765892014-09-20T12:54:57.931-04:002014-09-20T12:54:57.931-04:00Thanks for contributing, Beth.Thanks for contributing, Beth.Shybikerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263331247319768989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-18007750835415462742014-09-20T09:36:24.586-04:002014-09-20T09:36:24.586-04:00I was taught by a very erudite professor of Wester...I was taught by a very erudite professor of Western History that sexism resulted from both biology and cultural norms. Fluent in 5 modern languages and 2 ancient languages (he said he was dodgy in Old English), he said a long lifetime of study led him to conclude that people are hard-wired to seek control over their personal circumstances -- beginning in the home, expanding to the workplace, then the community and the countryside. He gave one open lecture a year "A Historian Looks At History", in which visiting dignitaries sat on the steps of the hall to record his remarks which began with "Civilization is a fragile construct requiring constant maintenance."

It's funny but I didn't notice it nearly as much when I lived in Canada. After having moved to Poland I realized just how much of it exists and is prominent in everyday life.<br />xo<br />styleontheside.comStyleOnTheSidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05184811794492295816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-61089389417741781932014-09-20T04:48:14.794-04:002014-09-20T04:48:14.794-04:00There will always be sexism as long as men and wom...There will always be sexism as long as men and women are still conditioned to be so. The answer is simple but somehow to educate about the root and cause of the problem instead of simply blaming the victim or result seems to be a lot harder for people to understand. That song is a joke. Men may have built machines and done impressive things but that's only because by law made by men, women were barred from doing so in the first place, not because women could never do it in the first placeSelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18215629620223943455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4885867892898159023.post-12751793167045214752014-09-20T00:39:01.690-04:002014-09-20T00:39:01.690-04:00There is also a lot of sexism here in SA.

But funnily enough we had a male staff member put a grievance in against his female manager because she said that she prefers to employ women because they work better.
