Sexism still exists even in this supposedly progressive society. This boomer showed such bigoted behavior toward a woman during a traffic altercation.
There are likely fewer instances of men blatantly berating women because of their gender. However, sexism in current times comes in a different form. It may be less blatant, but it draws negative emotions, nonetheless. The UNDP also found that 40% of people believe that men make better business executives and more than half believe that males are better political leaders.
More statistics by the UNDP show how much of the population embodies a strictly traditional viewpoint where women take more care of housework. Those people account for over 50% of the world’s population. If you think society is moving forward, the UNDP also found that perceptions of women’s roles in politics and decision-making had worsened in 2023. 27% of people believe women have no place in politics, while 18% believe they aren’t as capable of holding leadership positions.
For the most part, we live in a patriarchal society. Unfortunately, some hold beliefs that are so outdated they clash with current values, just like the old man in the story. As the author did in the story, there’s no losing in being the bigger person in a heated situation.It may be challenging for many people to take the high road instinctively. As Dr. Scotti points out, we tend to be attached to what other people think about us because we want to be respected, accepted, liked, and trusted.
