A women’s life is always difficult, whether you are young or reaching your older years. As a young woman myself, I experience lots of complications in my everyday life. Don’t get me wrong a enjoy being a young women with its flaws and all because even through its harsh moments its fun being a girl. You get to be creative from your clothes to makeup and hair. Nothing beats that. With many great things, come the negative as well. Women still experience lots of sexism today which should be shocking.
Coming from a Mexican household I experience it from time to time. Mexican values and traditions really emphasize the male as the main person in the family. Such remarks as, “You’re supposed to be in the kitchen helping your mom cook, the homework can wait!” Such statements make me furious because my father could be simply watching TV, waiting for his food to be served and he does not bother to move a finger to help my mother cook. Instead he simply calls me over even though I am busy doing homework. These actions make me furious. Everyone has legs and hands, there should be no excuse for someone to be able go cook something for themselves simply because of their gender. This is simply pathetic and it makes me furious that sexist people still exist.
