As this is being posted on the
internet I do not feel comfortable going into specific details about the
situation, but there was a time where I experienced sexism. During this
instance I felt I was not being treated fairly and because I am a woman I was told
I was not capable of following through with the responsibilities. I felt
defeated and that I was being treated poorly. I felt I should have the same
respect as a man and I knew I could follow through with the responsibilities.
From talking to others I am not the first person who was made to feel this way.
In order to change the situation I would need to speak up to this person,
therefore I would need to change and feel more comfortable with voicing my
feelings about the situation.

ReplyDeleteIt is sad that we are still experiencing sexism today. In spite of the changes of women’s roles in society and the workplace over the past several years, there will always be others that believe women are not capable of doing the same job or task as a man. The more we educate ourselves about sexism and other discriminations and the impact they have, we will see the changes. We must first self-reflect on our own biases in order to start change.
