caption_attribution_description: Deutsch: Eine Frauenrechtlerin wird verhaftet auf der Straße von zwei Polizeibeamten in London in 1914English: A suffragette arrested in the street by two police officers in London in 1914. The Daily Mirror identifies this as the arrest of Dora Thewlis in March 1907 (see File:1907 arrest of Dora Thewlis.jpg), but it doesn't look like the same woman or the same clothing. The Mirror image and this show that it took place outside Buckingham Palace, so it was probably part of this. Also see "Kate Frye’s Suffrage Diary: Buckingham Palace, 21 May 1914".
context_page_description: Sexism is generally defined as discrimination based on the gender of a person—looking down on people because they are male or female. Sexism may also include stereotyped roles for men and women. International laws, such as Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women or Yogyakarta Principles demand to abolish any kind of sexism. Sexism could affect a person attending a party, getting a job, joining a game, trying to get a promotion, being selected and so on.
  The women's rights and men's rights movements claim to fight sexism.
  Sexism is often associated with discrimination against women due to the history of sexism in the western world.
  Hatred of women is called misogyny. Hatred of men is called misandry. Reverse sexism is misandristically being biased because you think you're disadvantaged.
  Pauline M. Leet made the word "sexism" on November 18, 1965.
