 The sign of the headquarters of the National Association Opposed To Woman Suffrage Sexism is commonly considered to be discrimination and/or hatred against people based on their sex rather than their individual merits, but can also refer to any and all systemic differentiations based on the sex of the individuals.

Sexism can be generalized as a subtype of essentialism. Sexism can be partitioned as consisting of sexism against the female sex, sexism against the male sex, sexism against the intersex (hermaphrodite and pseudohermaphrodite), and sexism against the transsex (transmale and transfemale). Each type of sexism has its own history and form of intolerance to counter. Concept A is a (strict) generalization of concept B if and only if: every instance of concept B is also an instance of concept A; and there are instances of concept A which are not instances of concept B. Equivalently, A is a generalization of B if B is a...

Sexist beliefs, as a species of essentialism, holds that individuals can be understood or be judged simply based on the characteristics of the group to which they belong—in this case, their sexual group, as males or females. This assumes that all individuals "fit" into the category of "males" or "females" and does not take into account of intersexed people who are born with both sexual characteristics. This also assumes a homogeneous characteristics of all males in the "male group" and all females in the "female group" and does not take into account the huge differences within a group. There are also XX males and XY females who are genetically one sex but has developed the sexual characteristics of another sex at fetal stage.

Sexism against females Sexism against females in its extreme form is known as "misogyny", which means "hatred of females". The term 'sexism', in common usage, usually implies "sexism against females", since this is the first form of sexism that has been commonly identified. This form of sexism is also often called chauvinism, though chauvinism is actually a wider term for any extreme and unreasoning partisanship with malice and hatred towards a rival group. A mildly related term is "gynophobia", which refers to fears of females or feminity. Female is a sex that denotes an animal which produces egg cells in order to reproduce. ...

Historically, in many patriarchal societies, females were viewed as the "weaker sex". The combination of hostile and subjectively benevolent (but patronizing) attitudes toward women is known as ambivalent sexism, which has its origins in the fact that while women have lower status than men, heterosexual men depend on women as wives, mothers, and lovers. Women's lower status is evident in cases in which females were not even recognized as "people" under the law of the land. The feminist movement promotes women's rights to stop sexism against females by addressing issues such as equality under the law, political representation of females, access to education and employment, female victims of domestic violence, and self-ownership of the female body. Patriarchy (from Greek: patria meaning father and arché meaning rule) is the anthropological term used to define the sociological condition where male members of a society tend to predominate in positions of power; with the more powerful the position, the more likely it is that a male will hold that...

Sexism against males Sexism against males in its extreme form is known as "misandry", which means "hatred of males". Since this is the second form of sexism that has been commonly identified, it is often known as "reverse sexism". A mildly related term is "androphobia", which refers to the fear of males or masculinity. While the view that women are superior to men is also sexism, only in recent years has such awareness begun to develop in public discourse. The word male has the following meanings: In biology, it refers to one half of a heterogamous reproduction system, where the female is the other half. ...

Another source of sexism is the "old patriarchy" and "old matriarchy", which has historically restricted and limited the role of males in other parts of society and has looked down upon male homemakers. The masculinist movement promotes men's rights and Father's Rights to stop sexism against males by addressing issues such as equality under the law, "maternity leave" for males, male victims of domestic violence, and equal access to children. A homemaker is a person whose prime occupation is to care for their family and/or home; the term is originally an American feminist phrase, but it has entered mainstream English. ...

Sexism against intersexes Sexism against intersexes has only been recently identified, but it has yet to be aware of by the general public. Historically, most cultures (with a few exceptions) hold that males and females are separate and distinct entities with separate gender roles and responsibilities. Infants that are born with both (or with ambiguous) sexual characteristics are either killed or have one of their sexual characteristics surgically removed. The unnecessary surgery has often been carried out without the knowledge or consent of the parents and some view this as "genital mutilation" and criticized the perceived need by modern western medicine to "correct" the occurrences of intersexuality, which is just a natural probability. An intersexual is a person (or individual of any unisexual species) who is born with genitalia and/or secondary sexual characteristics of indeterminate sex, or which combine features of both sexes. ...

'Intersexuality' refers to the condition of being intersexed and the LGBTIQ movement has actively fought sexism against intersexes. From birth, intersexed individuals are neither in the male "box" or the female "box" and the classification used by most policies and laws of government fails to reflect this. Intersexed people are also often the target of hate crimes since the traditional notion of male (XY) and female (XX) is perceived to be threathened by the existence of atypical sexes such as Turner (X0), Metafemale (XXX), Klinefelter (XXY), de la Chapelle (XX male), and Swyer (XY female) syndrome.

Sexism against transsexes Sexism against transsexes has also only been recently identified, and it has also yet to enter into the public discourse. Traditionally, transsexes are viewed as having psychological problem with "gender identity disorder". Recent medical research of transsexed brains, however, indicates that the composition of a transsexed brain often display the composition of the chosen sex and not the composition of the birth sex. This supports the theory that the brain of an individual can develop in a different path from the genitalia of an individual and thus is birth-related and not psychological. The research also gave rise to the phrase "men trapped in women's body" and the phrase "women trapped in men's body". Psychology (ancient Greek: psyche = soul and logos = word) is the study of mind, thought, and behaviour. ...

'Transexuality' refers to the condition of being self-identified with opposite sex from birth and the LGBT movement has actively fought sexism against transexes. Many "women-only" events and organizations have been criticized for rejecting transfemales; similar situations have occurred for "men-only" events and organizations for rejecting transmales. Transsexed people are also often the target of hate crimes, as the traditional notion of masculinity and femininity is often perceived to be threatened by those who have chosen to adopt a different sex later in life.

During the sexual revolution, there was a change in the sexual morality and sexual behavior. The sexual revolution has been known as the "sexual liberation" by feminists since some saw this new development in the west as a leveling ground for females to be as sexually active as males. They argued that they are freed from the sexism of being imposed with the need for modesty and value of virginity. To meet Wikipedias quality standards, this article or section may require cleanup. ...
Sex-positive feminism, also known as pro-sex feminism, is a movement formed in the 1980s in response to efforts by some in the feminist movement, including Catharine MacKinnon and Andrea Dworkin, to censor pornography and otherwise restrict various forms of sexual expression that they felt were oppressive to women. ...
Feminism is a social theory and political movement primarily informed and motivated by the experience of women. ...
The sexual revolution has also resulted in what has been criticized as the "Raunch Culture" since some saw this new development in the west as sexual objectification of females. They argued that the sexed up culture is now imposing sexism with the need for females to be sexy and promiscuous as well as the notion that being the sexist girl and attracting the guys is more important than being the most accomplished person. Most importantly, they argue that females are themselves objectifying other females by becoming producers and promoters of the "Raunch Culture".
Before the sexual revolution, males are expected to be virile and females are expected to be modest. After the sexual revolution, some masculinists point to the fact that while females are given the choice to be immodest by the sexual revolution, the reverse had not been true--males has yet to be given a choice to be non-virile. They argued that the dual identity of hypersexuality and asexuality is a luxury and special status that only exists for females. Hypersexuality describes a desire for human sexual behavior at levels high enough to be considered clinically significant. ...
Asexuality is a general term or self-designation for people who find sexual behavior unappealing. ...
Several published articles have either hinted at or stated explicitly that sexual intercourse, as it has most often been practised, has been for the sole purpose of sexual satisfaction of the male through positions and motions that are more pleasurable to the male and through motions he perceives, from the perspective of his male ego, that flatter his virility or abilities as a lover. Only in recent times have a significant number of heterosexual couples begun to practise positions (for example, women on top) and motions (for example, grinding motions that stimulate the clitoris) during sexual intercourse that are for the pleasure of the female.[citation needed] Another suggested contribution to the lack of potential enjoyment of females is the notion that sexual intercourse had traditionally been a tabooed subject. Coition of a Hemisected Man and Woman (c. ...
Some express the view that pornography is contributing to sexism, because in usual pornographic performances for male spectators the actresses are limited to and presented as "pleasure-objects". The German feminist Alice Schwarzer is one representative of this point of view. She has brought this topic up repeatedly since the 1970s, in particular in the feminist magazine "Emma". The reverse, where female spectators are objectifying male actors, has also been identified as sexism. Pornography (from Greek πόÏνη prostitute and γÏαφία writing) (more informally referred to as porn or porno) is the representation of the human body or sexual activity with the goal of sexual arousal. ...

On the other hand, some famous pornographic actresses such as Teresa Orlowski and Tímea Vágvölgyi have publicly stated that they do not feel themselves to be victims of sexism against females. In fact, many female pornographic stars and sex-positive feminists view pornography to be progressive, since they are paid immense amounts of money for performing consensual acts, and also since many directors and managers of the industry are women as well. Sex positive feminists often support their position by pointing out the situation of women in countries with strict pornography laws (ie Saudi Arabia) versus women in countries with liberal pornography laws (ie the Netherlands). Teresa Orlowski (born July 29, 1953 in WrocÅ‚aw, Poland) is a Polish actress in and producer of adult films in Germany. ...

Still other feminists, outside of the sex-positive feminism and anti-pornography feminism, feared that censoring profit-oriented pornography would lead to censoring legitimate non-profit female expression of their sexual experience. This is because historically, indecency acts in various countries had, in the past, been used to censor sexual educations, which are vital to the sexual independence of females and females taking ownership of the decisions over their bodies. Sex-positive feminism, sometimes known as pro-sex feminism, sex-radical feminism, or sexually liberal feminism, is a movement that was formed in the early 1980s. ...

It has been argued that language plays a part in sexism, though it is disputed whether certain language causes sexism or sexism causes certain language (see the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis).

Linguistics is the scientific study of human language, and someone who engages in this study is called a linguist. ...

Nearing the end of the 20th century, there is a rise in the use of gender-neutral language in western worlds. This is often attributed to the rise of feminism. Gender-neutral language, as a part of political correctness, is the avoidance of gender-specific job titles, non-parallel usage, and other usage that is felt by some to be sexist. Supportors feel that having gender-specific titles and gender-specific pronouns implies a system bias to exclude individuals based on their sex. Opponents question whether such avoidance campaign is themselves engaging in semantics injection. Some opponents dismiss this trend as "political correctness gone mad" and protest against what they see as censorship. Gender-neutral language (gender-generic, gender-inclusive, non-sexist, or sex-neutral language) is language that attempts to refer neither to males nor females when discussing an abstract or hypothetical person whose sex cannot otherwise be determined, as opposed to more traditional language forms, which may use male or female...

Unlike the Germanic languages in the west, for many other languages around the world, gender-specific pronouns are a recent phenomenon that occur around the early-20th century. As a result of colonialism, cultural revolution occurred in many parts of the world with attempts to "modernize" and "westernize" by adding gender-specific pronouns and animate-inanimate pronouns to local languages. This ironically resulted in the situation of what was gender-neutral pronouns a century ago suddenly becoming gender-specific. (See Gender-neutral Language - Chinese.)

In those parts of the world, some feminists, who are unaware of the etymology of their own language, complain about what they perceived as "sexist language" with arguments like "traditional language fails to reflect the presence of women in modern society adequately" similar to the west. However, other feminists, who are aware of historical linguistics, realize that the traditional language in their part of the world is inherently gender-neutral. They instead decide to revive the original gender-neutral usage from over a century ago with reclamation projects. To reclaim is to bring a word back to a more acceptable course. ...
Reappropriation (aka reclamation projects) describe a cultural process by which certain groups reclaim or re-appropriate terms, symbols, and artifacts that were previously used to discriminate. Within the English language, terms like 'bitch' and 'slut', which had been historically used as pejorative sexist remarks against females, have since been used to refer to "strong, independent, unattached "female" and "sexually liberal, hypersexual female". Similarly, terms like 'girlie men' and 'tranny', which has been historically used as pejorative sexist remarks against transsexes, have since been used to refer to the varying degree of transexuality for "pre-operation" and "non-operation" as whether they had undergone or will undergo sex-reassignment or not. The success of these cultural process has been disputed. It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with reclaiming. ...
