Everyday Sexism

We have all heard of the old story of construction workers whistling at young women walking down the street, harmless right? A little flirting doesn’t harm anyone. Wrong. When some men take it a little to far, it can really hurt a women, sexism is a very important subject to talk about. Now of course sexism doesn’t just effect women, but the type of sexism I am talking about effects them more. Some men still seem to think that women are nothing other than sexual objects for them to have rather than actual people, some believe there isn’t much more to a women than her breasts and her looks, and they most definitely don’t think that women really have a dignity either, it seems. But you shouldn’t hear it from me, instead you should watch the video below:

In short, I really do hope that some men can realize that women should not be taken advantage of and be seen as objects placed on this earth to pleasure them. I am sure that all women have experienced some case of sexism, as I have, and I hope you share this video with everyone you know to spread the word!

P.S. I f you want to donate money or just check out the website that supports this cause and a lot more of great feminist projects you can go here: http://www.chimeforchange.org/
