paid less and receive fewer benefits from their work.
according to (najc.ca) in Canada, women earn only 70.4
percent of what men earn .
Job Positions
Women currently hold 20 (4.0%) of CEO positions at

The problem gets worse as women rise in the ranks, with
45 percent of women in top-level positions reporting they
have faced sexism.

● a male cannot be a part of the cheerleading squads
because he’s male and he’s better off playing as a
quarterback.

especially males

18. Evaluation:
not fully accurate
based on our survey and research, we have found that a lot of people do
know the term sexism, however they are not 100% sure whether or not
they are being the victim of sexism. in addition, gender inequality is also
closely related to sexism and people do believe that they are treated
unequally based on their gender.

do not have the same opportunities as boys and men for education, meaningful careers, political influence, and economic advancement.
Even in developed countries women are at a disadvantage when it comes to salary, especially in the workplace. Despite attempts to debunk the wage gap statistic, women nevertheless only earn only 70 percent of what men earn for the same amount of work. At this rate, it could take a full 45 years before the wage gap disappears.
Domestic violence, men victims who go to
cultures based on from where you’re from
stuck in the past, mr. hayes’ “the evolution of family” sheet. since the beginning of time, women’s jobs have always revolved around giving birth as many times as men want and take care of all the kids, while the men go out and do “MANLY” things. and this mindset has been passed on and established from generation to generation which resulted in people being narrow-minded, making them think that being sexist such as men saying that women can’t drive cause they just suck at it, is okay and women saying that men have no feelings cause they’re NOT SUPPOSED TO, is okay, that saying those two things are okay and true, even though THESE THINGS ARE IN FACT, NEITHER OKAY OR TRUE.
20 questions to 17 males and 33 females.
apologize in advance for not having even numbers.
one guy said it has something to do with sexuals activities
1 says both the other three didn’t answer i think i forgot
explain what is stereotype of gender roles. ex. like women do housework so they don’t need to go get jobs(?), which makes job opportunities for women less available
most said no. a bit relief because it might mean that no one’s been sexist towards them but a bit worried too
cause these women might not know that people have been sexist towards them and they weren’t aware of it.
same goes to men
not accurate, considering the number people we asked isn’t that big and it’s uneven between the males and females
plus people were not doing it seriously
