In which fields are women discriminated?

Sexism against WomenThe term 'sexism' is most commonly applied to sexism against women, and expressed by either men or women is called male chauvinism. Historically, in many patriarchal societies, women have been and are viewed as the "weaker sex". Women's lower status can be seen in cases. equality under the law, political representation of women, access to education and employment, language women victims of domestic violence, self-ownership of a woman's body, the possible impact of pornography on women The feminist movement promotes women's rights to end sexism against women by addressing issues.[p :’n gr fi:]色情描绘,

Women’s social statuswomen did not receive the vote in the U.S. until 1920 and in the U.K. until 1918. New Zealand 1894, Australia 1914, Britain 1918( over 30, and 1928 for all women) America (1920) Japan (1954) China (1953) In a survey, the percentage of women aged 15–49 who thought that a husband is justified in hitting or beating his wife under certain circumstances, was 90% in Jordan, 85.6% in Guinea [‘ɡini] , 85.4% in Zambia, 81.2% in Laos, and 81% in Ethiopia [i:θi’ upj ] Women in the past have been excluded from higher education. When women were admitted to higher education, they were encouraged to major in subjects that were considered less intellectual; the study of English literature in English and U.S. colleges and universities was in fact instituted as a field of study considered suitable to women's "lesser intellects.“

Women have historically been excluded from participation in many professions. When women have gained entry into a previously male profession, they have faced many additional obstacles

Professional discrimination continues today, according to studies done by Cornell University and others. It has been hypothesized that gender bias has been influencing which scientific research gets published. This hypothesis coincides with a test conducted at the University of Toronto led by Amber Budden. Based on the results of this study, almost 10 percent of female authors get their papers published when their gender is hidden. Women also earn 5-25% less wage as their male counterparts. A male and female could be doing the same job, but the male will usually always earn more than a woman doing the exact same job. Many countries around the world make it mandatory(强制的，义务的) for males to join the military, but not females. Men at 18 years of age in the United States are required to register for military con

scription to be drafted to war or military service.
