Hi Charlie - in relation to discrimination on the grounds of gender, it's interesting to see just how recently women were allowed to vote in the UK - before 1918 they were not considered capable of voting, and even in 1918 ( when my grandma was getting married) only certain women were allowed to vote. Look for the details by searching on google. Good luck with your homework!

Answer 4

Sexism is commonly considered to be discrimination and/or hatred against people based on their sex rather than their individual merits, but can also refer to any and all systemic differentiations based on the sex of the individuals.

Sexism can refer to subtly different beliefs or attitudes:

# The belief that one sex is superior to or more valuable than the other;

#The belief that one gender is superior to or more valuable than the other;

#Female or male chauvinism

#The attitude of misogyny (hatred of females) or misandry (hatred of males); as well as

#The attitude of imposing a limited and/or false notion of masculinity on males and a limited and/or false notion of femininity on females.

#A feeling of distrust towards the opposite sex, most frequently operating at unconscious level.
