** Gender Discrimination **
==== Gender Discrimination, or sexism is the belief or attitude that one gender is superior to the other. Historically, women have been seen as the “weaker sex.” Not so long ago, women would not be able to do certain jobs, have certain rights, or get a certain education. Until 1920, women couldn’t even vote, and America is one of the most un-sexist countries in the world. In Saudi Arabia, women aren’t allowed to drive cars. In Kuwait, women can’t vote. Muslim women have to wear clothing that covers their entire body, even their hair. All over the world, women’s jobs don’t get paid as much as men’s jobs, even if it’s the same job. And have you ever noticed that many women take their husband’s name? It’s because a wife used to be thought of as her husband’s “property.” Sexism can be just tiny little things, like when two people are married, the minister pronounces the couple “man and wife.” Why not “woman and husband”? ====
