Sexism And Gender Inequality

A cultural problem is how sexual abuse affects our society in the form of gender inequality, prostitution, and sexism. Women are often the ones faced with sexual abuse but hardly seen as the victims. Their voices are not taken seriously just for being women. Men have thought that they can do as they please because of the way women are portrayed. Many women never speak out on what happened because of the fear of what would happen if they did. Gender inequality is the idea and situation that women and men are not equal. In the United States as in many other societies, gender relationships are changing and inequalities between men and women are questioned everywhere. It is both a moral and economic imperative that is shifting in reverse. The

Sexual abuse relates to the essay Why Looks are the Last Bastion of Discrimination, as Rhode gives us a real life example of what is happening on a daily basis. Comparatively, the restaurant did not care that her appearance was changing because of a thyroid condition as the only thing they cared about was her looking good for the customers. As stated earlier they were more concerned over her image because she was being seen as a sexual object primarily for men instead of as a person dealing with a real life problem.
