How is this Sexist? – English B

According to Cambridge dictionary, sexist language is language which excludes one sex or the other, or which suggests that one sex is superior to the other. In these articles, many women, who are involved in politic, suffered due to sexist languages. Taking some specific examples from the articles of former Italian prime minister was quoted as saying that he thought rightwing women were “more beautiful” and that “the left has no taste, even when it comes to women”. http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2013/jun/14/top-10-sexist-moments-politics. When a politician appointed a female majority cabinet, the former prime minister mentioned that the party is too pink and some problems will occur when it comes to leading the party. Another example, a South African female politician has been teased by male politicians about her appearances. Although there was not a certain lack of her dress or appearance, a male politician argued that her dress manner for a debate didn’t show the respect just because she was fat. In addition, she was called “tea girl”, getting refused to debate by an ANC youth leader. There are so many situations that a female politician has suffered due to their outfits were not preferable to men. A female politician, who is in a high position, was called “Beauty Queen” when she was asked a question to a male politician about Parliament. She felt uncomfortable because even though she is in a significant position, her appearance was focused other than political issue in public. There are more serious sexist events that women suffered within political environment. Although it seems the women rights within the society have been promoted so far from the past, it cannot be said ‘done’. The whole world still needs to not only protect women from crimes and prejudices, but also make both of the genders are equally treated.
