Some of the things that I believe I do that add to sexism is possibly falling into the roles of what society thinks a woman should be. I tend to be more girly and let men take on the heavy lifting in life. I wear make up and try and feel good on how I look whenever and wherever I go out. I also assume that males should pay for dates, they should be the sole providers in the household. However, even though I assume these things and I think that's how things are supposed to be, I don't necessarily want things to be like that. I want to pay for myself every now and then. I also don't want to be a stay at home mom, I want to provide for my family as well later on. And hey, if I end up making more than my husband...oh well.
Another thing I can do is maybe try and speak up against the stereotypes society places on gender roles. If I make my voice heard maybe I can get others to speak up as well.
