Women are almost always displayed as sexy, or attractive in te media so that male viewers will be more likely to watch. However men are displayed in almost every way even if they aren't considered attractive to women. The media is dominated by men and that is the reason that woman have to be attractive in order to get attention in today's movies and other forms of media.
Do men have a greater chance of being successful in today's society?
I would say that it is almost even, but men do have a little bit of the upper hand. History shows that men have had most of the power in this country considering that there has yet to be a female president and very few woman high up in the government.
Is sexism something that is learned or something that we are born with?
Sexism is definitely something that is learned because I will admit I have been guilty before of sexism. Now that I've learned what sexism is and how common it actually happens I have tried to stop myself from being sexist. It starts at a young age, you are taught that certain things that are usually weak are girly and things that are strong or tough are manly.
How can sexism be eliminated?
Who is to blame for sexism in the media?
