Sexism or gender discrimination is prejudice or discrimination based on a person's sex or gender. Sexism can affect any gender, but it is particularly documented as affecting women and girls. It has been linked to stereotypes and gender roles, and may include the belief that one sex or gender is intrinsically superior to another.

Both the racist and the sexist are acting as if all that has happened had never happened, and both of them are making decisions and coming to conclusions about someone’s value by referring to factors which are in both cases irrelevant."

What if your boss and colleagues discriminated against you just for speaking up assertively? Unfortunately, this is reality for women in the workplace. The BS Guys' latest research shows that when a woman spoke in a way that was forceful and assertive, people judged her as incompetent and a poor leader. However, when a man was equally as forceful, he wasn’t judged as harshly as his female coworker. So what can women do when suffering from an unfair judgment? The BS Guys wondered if adding a few words prior to the forceful statement would reduce the bias. Our hypothesis was that a brief statement explaining why you’re about to pound the table would change people’s judgement of you pounding the table. The results were dramatic. Women who explained their intent before going to content d...
