How to enjoy ourselves while struggling against discrimination

One of the things that drives me completely mad is discrimination. Injustice and discrimination are unbearable to me and make me incredibly furious. According to the Oxford Dictionary, sexism is defined as “prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex.” This, in other terms, means that women (especially) are generally seen as inferior to men. Of course both genders are affected by sexism and suffer from stereotypes, but in my opinion (and in fact, really), women are the ones that endure the most discrimination. I could list a series of proportions and numbers that support my point, but I’m starting to get tired of repeating myself and hearing the same horrific statistics over and over again without witnessing a bit of real change in attitudes.

Sexism is considered by a lot of people (by men as well as by women) as a myth, and feminists are often described as hysterics that fight for inexistent problems. I want this opinion to change, which is why I really advise you to look up a channel on YouTube called “Studio 4” and to watch the episodes of the series named “Martin, sexe faible”. In these short episodes, the world is reversed and women exchange roles with men. This perspective shines a light on everyday life details that don’t bother anyone but that look extremely shocking when the genders are exchanged. This series made me realize in a very funny way how unequal society still is, and how bad I wanted it to change. I sincerely hope that it will be the same for you.
