Accessed on 5/22/14 9:54 PM- website 6. Speaker: A personal view, society influences, the website Sexism in Today’s Society, Pauline Bart  Occasion: To create a better understanding of sexism and sub-categories of sexism in society  Audience: Women, people researching sexism, education seekers  Purpose: To discuss social, institutional, historical and personal views of sexism and educate readers on sexism  Subject: Sexism in today’s society, history, categories of sexism  Tone: Informative, personal, biased 7. In today’s society, much is dependent on who you are, sexism occurs in many aspects of a females life. Socially, it is essentially seen as discrimination as Bart reiterates, overall the male figure in society is seen as dominant even in the eyes of women. Other areas of women’s life include such discrimination, like in the workplace where women are typically still paid less, which is illegal due to the fight for women’s rights and equality. The personal side of the article says that as a woman, she does not mind portraying and being viewed in the typical women roles. 8. “Even though many scholars compare the roles of women’s activism to waves we need to remember that there was movement throughout all years, some just more than others. Hopefully change will continue to happen and women will no longer be the oppressed sex.” 9. The author discusses good points and most of the information is straight-forward and not personal. There are a few quotes to help show the reader that the article and information is worthy. Breaking the topic into a few categories helped to divide the concept into layers and explain the concept much better than a textbook definition. Having a personal section allows the reader to connect with the author even if the reader does not agree with what she is saying because she says it is her personal opinion. 10. “Sexism is an oppression that is hard to avoid, as it is difficult to rid ourselves of the social institutions of gender that we have been taught at a very young age.” “The sociology of women has come to be from men. Men believe that their story is the only one worth examining, which shows how sexism and other forms of oppression come to be.” <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“This causes the men to unjustly categorize and stereotype all women, leading them and us to believe what we have heard over and over, that we are the lesser beings.” <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“The revolution of the 1960s and ’70s removed legal barriers to women’s full participation in public life and upended well established and stubbornly persistent social customs in a short period of time, but feminism(s) existed and persevered before.”
