The Reader's Companion to US Women's History stated, "Sexism is the cultural assumption that men are superior to women and deserve preference and power over them." (Bird, 1998) However, as I researched, I discovered that sexism is not always because men are superior to women, but also that women are superior to men. Of course, this is normally a feeling brought on by actions, words, and perhaps even nothing at all. I believe sexism is more common among women who are the most angry about their inferiority compared to men. There are cases where men feel inferior to women, but I think in these cases men may not be as ready to talk about their problem as women are. Some people may believe that sexism is a completely natural reaction to early childhood problems, sexual abuse, or other disgusting events. But, if we wanted, we could probably make up some excuse for every unnecessary feeling we have. While there may be a correspondence between these things and sexism, this is not necessarily the cause. We are responsible for how we react to things that happen in our lives. Sexism is something we allow to control our feelings. “The National Organization for Women was founded in 1966 by activists who wanted “an NAACP for women” that would fight against sexism and sexual discrimination in U.S. society.” (National Organization for Women, 2001) Sexism is unbiblical, unnecessary, and unethical. Sexism runs rampant like an infectious disease in our society today. He comes like a roaring lion waiting to eat his prey until he gets angry at the seeming injustice of it. Even as a young person, I was perhaps a little taken aback at times by the discussions and the angry attitudes that came from them. One of the largest areas of society that has... half the paper....... Sexism is such an easy thing you could get trapped in. But don't let any movement or person take away or add what the Bible has already said about the man/woman relationship. And, at the same time, never allow yourself to feel “inferior” or “not good enough.” Each of us has a specific role to play in the kingdom of God. Use each role for His glory. Men, be leaders in your home! Women, submit to your husbands and love him as you love yourself! Sexism has no place in your marriage, your church, or anything else. Works Cited Bird, Caroline.
