ABSTRACT
What is sexism? Sexism is part of the capitalist ideology which advocates male supremacist values. These values define the nature of women and men in respect to being superior or inferior. Men are defined as “naturally” stronger, more logical, and able to economically provide for others. Women are defined as “naturally” dependent, childlike, and therefore always in need of authority. Her primary functions are to secure others as a wife and a mother since her primary abilities are to conceive, procreate and nurture. Therefore, man is defined “naturally” superior to women since man is independent and aggressive, and women are dependent and passive.
