I experience sexism everywhere – it is everywhere I look. It is as though the feminist movement never happened! From my boss telling us (females) that he must speak to us in ‘black and white’ terms to avoid us getting emotional or hysterical to listening to men in the mall talk about which passer-by was rape-worthy… I do not make as much money at my job as my male co-horts, and they are unilingual, I speak 4 languages. Traditionally, I have been the bread-winner in my relationships and have provided for myself and family, as well as contributing to my community as well, without equal pay. I have sat on committees and boards and have offered excellent insights and suggestions that, until they are reiterated by a man, go unseen or unheard. I, for one, am sick to death of this double standard and want to see an end to sexism for men and women, girls and boys. Period.
