According to the ads and articles, the most important things women should be worried about are their hair, make-up, clothes and weight. You might say they almost had me convinced about weight, because I felt like puking after reading that magazine. But magazines aren't the only offenders. You might not know it, but there was a Women's National Basketball Association championship a few weeks ago. I can understand why you might have missed it, since it was relegated to the fourth page of the Register's sports section.
Sexism is everywhere, including our schools.
My mom found a blurb in our high school's daily announcements telling girls they had to wear a dress to a certain school awards ceremony. When I was in high school, I didn't OWN a dress. Moreover, I didn't WANT to own a dress. You're also going to find sexism in the workplace. This summer, my sister worked at a law firm in Des Moines.
