Why is Sexism a thing?(meant for 1st period)

     Sexism to me is "I'm a man, so I can do anything better than a woman."  I believe that every person on the planet has their own unique talent and skill, disregarding the sex factor.  It is funny, still seeing sexism; even though men and women have been breaking barriers since day 1.  Of course, sexism is probably the result of men outnumbering females or the fact that certain groups of people are victims to history.  Sexism is the ever changing monster of society; honestly, it may never die.  
     Modern sexism is more dangerous and insidious than it has ever been in the past. People today are being bombarded with images and music that perpetuates and often discourages respect between young men and women.  Much of modern media promotes the idea that women are just play things that are put on earth to gratify men's needs.  Men have also been judged through the means of media.  Much of our media makes males seem like brutes and hostile individuals, while at the same time stupid.
