We were learning about sexism in theology today. I knew sexism was still going on but I never realised how big it was.
A boy in our class was being sexist. In all seriousness he said “women should stay at home, do the housework, have children and look after them. In a perfect world, I would like to come home to an already cooked dinner and a beautiful wife. She doesn’t argue and agrees with me. I’d be proud to be the only worker getting paid because they I feel proud that I’m going something for my family”
In all honesty, I was shocked by what he said and disgusted. Nobody told him to say that, he said that. But that’s society weaving it into his head.
I nearly left that lesson because it annoyed me so much. Sexism is not right. How arenwe any different to men?
