2 What is Sexism? Good Question! ★ Sexism: prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination on the basis of sex ★ Sexism goes BOTH ways ★ Can be seen everywhere around the world no matter the race, ethnicity, or economical status

3 Sexism Against Women

4 ★ Women have been fighting for years to be treated as equals to the men in our society. ★ It is not only seen in the workplace, but also in our homes, media, and culture.

5 Sexism Against Women: Workplace ★ A new study from the Harvard Business School suggests that sexism is much more subtle. ★ The term “benevolent sexism” is used to speak about ongoing discrimination against women in the workforce

6 Sexism Against Women: Workplace ★ Men in the workplace will compliment women, say that they are great workers, and yet still will not give those same women the promotions that they deserve. ★ According to the White House representatives, women earn 77% of what men make. ★ This means that women have to work 3 months longer than men to earn what men make.

7 Sexism Against Women: Workplace ★ Sexual harassment towards women can also be seen in the workplace. ★ 79% of the sexually harassed people in the workplace are women. ★ Women have said that this harassment is 57% of the reason they quit their jobs.

8 Sexism Against Women: Culture ★ Our culture has sexualized women in our music and our television. ★ We have said that women can not perform the same in the police force, fire departments, and the military.

9 Sexism Against Men

10 Sexism Against Men: THE TRUTH ★ Men are also sexually discriminated, a lot more than you probably thought...allow us to explain (Katie)

11 Sexism Against Men: The Courts ★ Men receive 63% longer sentences than women for the same crime. ★ Men are 165% more likely to be convicted than women. ★ In a study, Harvard Business revealed that court bias against men is 6 times larger than racial biased.

12 Sexism Against Men: The Courts ★ The divorce courts are considered to be one of the largest “men discriminators” in the nation. ★ Men are forced to pay alimony and child support, sometimes even if the child is not biologically theirs or if the woman had a job. ★ The alimony and child support may forever put the man in debt and can financially and mentally ruin the man.

13 Sexism Against Men ★ Men are also expected to pass tougher physical tests to qualify for the military, police force, fire departments, and many other “physically demanding” jobs. ★ Yet, men are expected to work with the women and receive the same salary.

14 Sexism Against Men: Domestic Violence ★ 65% of domestic violence is against men. ★ Less than 1% of domestic violence shelters are for men. ★ Women are seen as the aggressor 53% of the time, yet men are convicted more than 98% of the time.

15 SEXISM NEEDS TO STOP Whether it is a man sexually harassing a woman at work, or the courts discriminating against men, the sexism in our society needs to stop. It goes against the Catholic Social Teachings of; Life and Dignity of a Human Person, Solidarity, Rights of Workers, and Rights and Responsibilities. STOP SEXISM
