I was watching pro golf coverage on the news and it seems so odd that men and women compete separately - same goes with pro bowling. Just seems weird to me that a game of skill is gendered when you can’t even raise an argument that someone might have an advantage because of what’s between their legs.

    Maybe not for you or I but capitalism thrives off of exploitation and gender is but one of the many levers that can be used to promote division.

    I’m not going to go off listing everything that feminists have studied in that regard, but some of the major ones that come to mind is the wage gap and glass ceiling.

    Of course there’s more than a financial aspect to sexism, namely power. And it’s up to you to decide which aspect you think contributes the most.
