Sexism in Society

     Sexism has always been around, even in our past. Everywhere you go you can hear steriotypes that, for some reason, are "okay" with society. Society see men as the person in charge, the one that works and brings money to the house, while they see the women's only job is to take care of the house and their husbands. You can find and see sexism everywhere even in advertisments.


1959 Singer Vacuum #003432     This ad is from the 1950's which is advertising household appliances for women to be able to take care of their home and husband. It clearly shows us that even back then society's perspective about women was the same and it will take a while before this view of men and women gets changed.
