This weeks article was about Sexism in the presidential election of 2008. It talked about all of the ways that Palin and Clinton were portrayed throughout the whole election. It talked about how being a mother, Iron Maiden, and beauty all were used to attack these two candidates. It also talked about how some of the sexism was not noticed by some men. It talked about how women should go inform more people about sexism and how common it is. The article used several different examples for all of the sexism that the women were put through.

I found this article pretty interesting. Because i did not follow the election in 2008 i did not notice all of the sexism that they went through. I knew that sexism is everywhere. It is prevalent throughout our society as a whole. I think that sexism is wrong and that both male and female should not take one over the other, especially in the work place. I do take over some things that i dont think my female counterparts can handle, such as lifting and other things, but im not doing it to spite them but to help. My main question is how can people not see the sexism in our society and become aware of what it does to people?
