Sexism in todays world

In todays world although not everyone can see it, sexism is still a big thing. I myself as a 15 year old see sexism in my daily life. Its become one of those things that we just overlook it happens so much thta we barely see it. I mean how often are you walking down the road and a car full of men beeps at you or out with your friends in town and you get approached by men asking you questions. This has become so normal we overlook them. I think a big way ive seen sexism recently was at school, we've been banned from wearing sports leggings in pe as the male teachers found it distracting. I mean we shouldnt be punished and forced to wear shorts in winter, just because the male teachers dont want to look at a girl in that way and know they cant have them. This topic is one that has sparked debate throughout our school and i think it opened a lot of eyes to the problems we face. Girls are not seen by who they are,their charector or intellegance were senn by our bodies and judged on what we look like. I know not only girls face this problem and i understand sexism can be the other way round but stastically girls have seen it worse, we werent even allowed into top universities until around 100 years ago. I work hard, i get A's in most of my subjects, but they may all be for nothing. Being born a girl is a disadvantage and im glad that the country i live in is a lot more equal but theres still a long way to go. For some girls in poorer countries they face sexism and discrimination every second of every day, this needs to stop. Women make up half the population yet we follow laws that we barely have imput on. Women got the right to vote inthe uk in 1918 thanks to some inspiring women and i am thankful for them, i just wish i didnt have to feel second in line just because im a girl.
