For a long period of time in human history, women have been treated as the collateral part of the community, the ‘accessories’ of men.

Men are often bound to receive…

Of course, there is the occasional case of society totally blowing an event out of the water and exaggerating it to make women seem victimized and oppressed. However, Katie Rogers seemed to find an actual issue that should be addressed.

Sexism and the Discrimination Within It Sexism has been a problem since the existence of man and woman.
