Sexism is still alive and thriving today. Women are still denied jobs because companies fear they will get pregnant have to have take maternity leave. Women all over the world are still denied adequate birth control. Women are still seen as the primary, if not sole, care giver to children with little or no outside assistance of any form. The power of the female vote is still being drastically under estimated.
Politicians still seem to think that women are stupid enough to fall for cheap campaign tricks.
Women in too many societies are still legally considered second class citizens or as plain out property of men. More women than men are still live well below the poverty line. Women are still being beaten, raped, emotionally battered, and otherwise mistreated in their homes everyday. As you sit there reading this, a woman is being beaten in her own home. Even in our modern society where we supposedly understand domestic violence and despite the general population's misconceptions, a man who murders his wife or girlfriend, even after years of documented abuse, will get on average less than half of the jail time that a woman who murders her abuser in self defense, even when there has been a long history of documented abuse.
