It can impact social factors, group cohesion and self-leadership skills. In Penny Wong’s case, society 's gender expectations may discourage her from a political career because she is female. This is due to the profession being strongly dominated by males. Members in society may also discriminate Penny, for being female and for her sexuality as a Lesbian.
The older generation of the public, especially older men, may despise her because they are chauvinistic and do not think women should have power. For example, the older generations may be narrow minded and think less of the opposite sex. This may be because in their youth, men would be expected to make important decisions, such as voting and take charge in situations needing leadership or guidance i.e sole bread winner.

  • Sexism By Marilyn Frye Analysis

    1181 Words  | 5 Pages

    I would say that it’s true that sexism plays an important role when someone is trying to a get a job or not in this world. For example, when employees have a male manager, they start to think that he’s a leader for telling them do. However, if those same employees had a female manager who was telling tell them what to do then the employees would think she’s bossy instead of a leader. Additionally, for the most part that example is usually not criticized by people because sexism has entered their brain in a subconscious way so they don’t think it’s a problem for employees to think that a male manger is a leader while thinking a female manager is bossy. Moreover, Frye states, “For every type of occasion there are distinct clothes, gear, and accessories, hair-dos, cosmetics and scents, labeled as “ladies” or “men’s” and labeling us as females or males, and most of the time most of us choose, use, wear or bear the paraphernalia associated with our sex” (Frye, p.847).
